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.
-
From matrix composites locally to me I was quoted 4.94 K-PET100-15 Armacell PET Foam 100Kg/m3 – 15mm per m2 – £13.47 As you’ll know the price is then decided on how you go about laminating it. If you can get hold of some cheap fibreglass woven matting and polyester resin then it can workout fairly affordable. 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.-
Thanks for the comment Glen, I know how you are feeling. I go through waves of spending everything I have on my project then sometimes I have to treat her mean to keep me kean. Nice blog by the way, write something for BRP sometime. 🙂
