Does anyone know about Dufour hull construction late 1980's, The hull is double skinned with inner and outer mouldings and vacuum bonded. Isopthyalic resins have been used throughout with woven rovings and Kevlar in high stress areas. Inner moulding forms network of frames and stringers with a ring frame in way of deck stepped mast. Does anyone know if this is a normal construction for this type of boat. Is it still used? Is it any good?
