Weather was good again (~45 this morning), so I decided to lay up the final layers of 3K carbon fiber and 14.5 oz glass. The final count is 1 strip 8" 6K carbon fiber as a stiffener under the traveler, 1 layer overlapped 12" 14.5oz glass, 1 strip 4" glass tape under the traveler, 1 layer continuous 3K carbon fiber, and a final 12" 14.5 oz glass strip under the traveler again. Seems pretty tough...I hope it stays together over the racing season. I've got a 12" hole in the seat on the port side I'll do next time I go down...will be easy to do in one layup I think.
