Thanks Glenn,

Saw your website, exiting project you are doing there.

As you say on the site, boatbuilding isn't about money, it's about creating
something. I will not be satisfied unless my final result is looking fair
and shiny, like a pro build boat. Thus my thoughts about building a female
mold for the hull. But if an equal quality can be obtained by building a
male mold/plug and then fairing the outside of the hull to a pro result,
this could be a way of doing it. So this method also has to be considered by
me.

Can you tell me if i can expect as nice a result with your suggested method
as with a female mold and, in short, describe the methods/materials used to
achieve this. I fear, that fairing a hull build on a male mold is quite
demanding (sanding, filling and so on). Please tell me i'm wrong.

I still would like to read more about how to make a plug for building a
female mold, i.e. workprocess, materials etc. So if anyone has a link to
pages where this method is descibed, i still would like to study this before
desiding which way to go.

Thanks for your answers.
