ArmaForm – Rebuilding My Boat From Composite Core
So what is ArmaForm? Well, let’s start with how I discovered it. I remmember the day that I first stepped foot on my Seamaster 950 Flybridge […]-
This is interesting, I’m wondering if it can be used under compression points on a sailboat like the mast? Otherwise I don’t see it being a bad alternative, what was the ball park price point? I bought balsa for my recoring project.

In terms of the pressure points you’d need to take a look at the datasheet i’ve attached to the article – it goes into the fine details.

I’m not building a boat, I’m repairing/improving one. The urge to be afloat is what drives me on. As mentioned in the article,I’m thinking about the boat and what needs to be done every waking hour and am pouring every available penny into achieving my goal.
To me, a boat,and sailing,represents absolute freedom and if I own a boat,I always have a home.-
