[Rhodes22-list] V-Berth Board materials

[Graham Stewart]

Brian:
If you think some degree of waterproofing is necessary an easier option
would be to simply coat the boards with a couple of coats of epoxy. Epoxy is
water vapor impermeable - much better than polyester - and a lot easier to
apply than fiberglass. The only reason to use fiberglass that I can think of
would be where you need additional strength.

Thanks Graham.  I'm tempted to still put a layer of fiberglass over mine for
some waterproofing, but good to hear about your situation.  

Stan, you never cease to amaze me.  Were you referring to my boat that had a
owner accident 30 years ago?  I'm intrigued.  

For any one else reading this, yes I bought an older Rhodes, a '76 in fact. 
She'll likely never be as nice as a Recycled Rhodes and I probably should
have saved more for a newer one, but I saw an opportunity to get something
that I could tinker with and learn from.  Maybe there's a newer Rhodes in my
future.
