Just finished my 7’11 Paul Jensen Kingfish. I used a template that Paul Jensen came up with as well as his methodology. The planks are1/4 in Balsa laminated on the inside with 4 oz e cloth The outside is 4 oz e cloth using rr epoxy. I won’t get to surf it for another week unfortunately but can’t wait. this Forum helped me tremendously especially with the quad fin placement and glassing. here are the numbers.
I’ll post some shots of my present project (5’10" hollow wooden fish) as I progress, I’ve nearly finished the wood-work ready for building the rails out, looking for alternative ways of doing this if you’ve any suggestions other than balsa.
No its 12.75 lbs. The inside frame is made of 1/8 inch luan plywood. the planks are 1/4 balsa. The rails are balsa. laminated together with contact cement. the Cork is only for looks. Its mainly balsa underneath. Check out Paul jensens sight he does the rails in cork and bending ply. If you want the cork for the rails do a search for underlayment to find cheap cork.
