A question I've been meaning to ask for a while: is carbon/epoxy really necessary for Mini40 hulls. I started using this combination and was happy with the results, but the hulls of my most recent boat (not made by me) are made from glass chopstrand mat /polyester resin, and they seem sufficiently rigid and light enough to me. At the scale we are working at is the extra rigidity and reduced weight of carbon/epoxy a real advantage?
