Boat Forum / Building / September 2003

I'm building 36' fiberglass Spray by Roberts Bruce.
Currently I'm working on deck and cabin top.
My plan says that deck and top cabin supposed to be sandwich method
(2CSM+18WR+2CSM+5/8"Balsa+2CSM+18WR+2CSM). Side cabin it is 6 layers of
fiberglass solid.
I did changes to this schedule. I built deck using 0.75" marine plywood and
side cabin 0.75" marine plywood as well. I make this decision because I want
to put any hardware on deck wherever I want.
I did ask Bruce about new fiberglass schedule over the plywood but
unfortunately I didn't get clear answer because it is against his
recommendation.
I'm planning to cover the plywood by 2 layers of 18WR mostly because I have
a lot of left over.
On cabin top I'm going to keep sandwich method.
Any suggestion about fiberglass schedule over 0.75" plywood deck?
Thanks for any help in advance.
