How long is your board?

Matt,

My hot wiring was simply to reduce the 150mm thick lumps of foam to more sheets of 25m and 50mm foam.

As for the board the path is:
1) Print profiles form Rhino with 1mm contours, stick to foam.
2) Route profiles from either side.
3) Sand to shape
4) Cover in carbon (uni then weave)
5) Fair with BOG

I think your route sounds similar, just you have
2a) - stick two halfs together
4a,b,c) add unis, fair, add weave, fair
It might be that Phil was commenting on part 4? 

When done I'll post the weight of the boards I'm making for eveyone to laugh at (lead stringers), but if I can be of any help with your routing pattens via Rhino then please yell. Might be ignorance, but failed to make profilli do anything like the jpg attached.

Another consideration:  when all thee long boards hit the water remember to lift it earlier when coming ashore and not to get too close to the shore when sailing. if beating into shore and you lift the board you can't tack easily.  if you need to tack, the board needs to shorter than the crew so that feet can touch the bottom.

I can confirm that slippery's case was not strong enough to stop us dead in light winds when the bottom of the board found terra-firma.

It's a long walk in at weston when the tide's going out.

Just being practical!

Is blue foam bad for you??

When I sneeze I unleash blue smoke.

Probably not, as long as you don't burn or dissolve it, for these reasons:

1) The particle size is quite big.

2) It is not water soluable (it is polystyrene).

3) Your exposure is quite small taken over your life.

4) I have done loads of it and it did me absolutely no harm at all (I claim).
