: I am interested in the Hamn method of covering SOF's--tried a
: search by author and gave up.
: Did I gather correctly that the SOF is built, covered in fabric,
: then covered again in fiberglass and resein????????

Yep, that's the basic method of the cover. I'm supposed to be writing up a covering article but it helps to have pictures and right now I don't have a SOF in progress to take pix of.

Maybe I'll just figure out a plan for something that I want (shouldn't be all that difficult ) and do it yet this winter.

If you have specific questions about the covering method please feel free to Email me off the forum.
