mitiempo will become famous soon enough
Tartan is using epoxy and post curing at high temperature which is a lot better than using polyester at room temp which used to be how this was done by builders coring hulls.
I just read Tartan's online blurb about the construction and they state they don't use the "weak and heavy chopped strand fiber that dominates the leminate of other builders." Do any builders actually use chopped strand on boats of any size now? Every builder says they don't but everybody else does.
