This was the first time I tried to make a hull from carbon fiber. I had made many fibreglass projects before, but here I really wanted to get the lightest hull possible.
The difference in weight in comparison to fibreglass is very significant. My 40 cm fibreglass hull I made before (video: • RC Jet Sprint Boat wit... ) was 50 g heavier than this 50 cm one.
I also decided to make this hull open top - real jetsprint boats obviously do not have any cover - and I will see if it works at all. The reason was to save a LOT of weight, achieve better look and easier maintance.
The main problem with this build was that I did not know sharp edges in the mould were such a big problem. Therefore many imperfections in the corners showed up and I had to fix them with epoxy filler.
Anyway, great result.
