I finished the final shaping of the ama and got it ready for glassing. It gets two layers of 6oz cloth with an overlap at the keel and deck ridge. I glass one side each day with both layers going on at the same time.
The new bottle of hardener I opened had turned red which is annoying but doesn't affect its effectiveness.
Nice. Are you going with a safety ama as well?
ReplyDeleteDo you see any reason why a similar box-type gullwing iako setup wouldn't work on my wa'apa? I'm still thinking "trimaran", with two ama like yours and symmetrical gullwing iako.

That ama looks fast, would it be a good choice for a ulua?
ReplyDeleteI will be making a safety ama too, with a simpler shape and smaller.
ReplyDeleteYou could definitely dress up a Wa'apa with gullwing iakos and light foam amas.
This ama would work fine for everything except surfing beach breaks where the Hawaiian banana is less likely to stuff itself under.
