We’ve just complete a 1:30 scale custom model of a C&C 40. The model was pieced together fro images provided by the owner and from drawing fragment found at the Kingston Maritime Museum.
Epoxy-resin coating:
Our method of constructing yachts has changed from solid hardwood to a plank-on-frame construction. The hull is subsequently coated in our own epoxy-resin recipe. Apart from a very smooth hull, this method also creates a hull which is extremely strong, resilient and resistant to any environmental conditions.
Some of our early yacht models, under harsh condition such as heat, could develop cracks in the hull. The current method we have been using for two years now will hold up much, much better under all conditions; if not forever! We have even bounced one of a concrete floor with not much damage visible afterwards. http://www.ageofsail.net/aoscc401.asp
