For the record that looks like being one great looking seat, is it for a T frame or an OTT, looking forward to seeing it finished
Cheers

Glad to see you use all your tools. (The dirty "Jane Fonda", Honda in the back ground)

Are you laying up a solid laminate ( looks like it from what I can see in the pics ) or laying up onto foam for a foam sandwich composite construction. If so what density foam. And are you Vac Bagging? If not it is worth considering both if you make another as you'll reduce the weight even further and create improved consolidation and carbon epoxy ratios. Providing better strength and rigidity. If a solid lay up what's your laminate spec? Looks like a heavy weave cloth to me from the pics. Be interesting to know, as I may be thinking about something similar soon...

For comparison this was 32kg with primer.

Daryl?... blame my Mum!

the boat is a R Class / UK Cherub ( or 12 foot skiff ) it fits all those rule sets. Hull lines designed by a NZ guy called David Lee and is an version of his Interdom winning 12 foot skiff. I designed the rest of the boat and part built it, but it was mostly put together by a builder over here call Ardvark. Thanks for the compliment.

And her I was, Lachy, thinking you were an Aussie??? Emachisit = How much is it??

I would like to buy it.. Not that that is likely to happen, I doubt ADL will want to sell it and I doubt that I have the money to buy it.. From my side of the fence it is another Backhanded complement (I like it that much I would buy it)
