That is amazing... And think of all of the shear stress that a carbon fiber boat will experience in those weather conditions.... This thread changes my opinion of carbon fiber....

Well were at it again. Check out the Volvo Ocean Race 2012 for more cool carbon in action.

We use foam core instead of honeycomb in the repair, as the honeycomb is best used in prepreg lamination using a female mold. The rocker box was built from the outside in and we are repairing from the inside out so the foam also gives us a little wiggle room as it has ability to shape . The honeycomb doesn't.

what steering wheel is on that car? It is an older Porsche style, not stock to the CGT?
