: The Black Pearl plans call for an inner stem (approx 12mm x 50mm x
: 1m). As stated on the plans, they do not provide much strength
: to the stem but rather help hold the shape during construction.
: I am wondering if it would be a good idea to remove them once
: the stems are finished and run a thickened epoxy fillet in their
: stead? A little neater and perhaps a little lighter.

: Comments/suggestions?

Btw, the WRC is a lot lighter than thickened epoxy.
