One difference is size. Spraying the whole thing at once is difficult so many people will do one side at a time stopping at the bow and stern. Epoxies don't blend at all but putting a division at an edge makes the division less apparent.
Matt,
The pics of these "Randall" boats shows much more dead rise to the bottom and 2-3 times as much flare as Solstice. Did you change the cross sectional shape of the hull midships to fwd? Wonder how that coulda happened?

Thanks for the heads up mate. Is this the one that post is referring to?

It was not my intention to scare you, but there are a bunch of lessons in the Baden capsize event. No one knows how good or bad the stability of the boat was a launch because, A) actual stability figures did not exist before launching. They did not know the weight or center of gravity location. B) The way the boat was launched allowed it to capsize before it floated straight and level.

I'll have a heap of sand bags with me until the weight and trim is stabilised before taking the slings off her and making lead shot in resin plates.
Matt, you just read my mind, as I was thinking exactly the same as above, when contemplating how one might best address a somewhat unknown trim and stability issue. Sounds like you have it all thought out, so we can all now just sit back and enjoy "vatchen das progressen".
Yep happy to put this issue to bed now.

ERRRR Sorry - Can't let ya snooze on this just quite yet. Be careful of the bag material you use... burlap rots quickly when moist at all and eventual piles of sand in tight places are a drag to clean-up!
Now you can put this issue to sleep if desired... knowing you - NOT!!!

Mr. H. ?????? I guess I'll wait until the "sleeve" is incorporated until I can figure out what it is you're doing. Don't bother trying to explain. I'm sure the penny will drop once you're further along. Time for another coffee here and I expect another beer there...

Nah you didn't scare me Tad. It was interesting viewing. SOLSTICE will be lowered into the water by slings on one of those travelling boat lifter things. I'll be speaking to the operators when I go to book a time and discuss with them the fact that she is new and that the COG is not really known nor is the ballast or trim requirements. I'll have a heap of sand bags with me until the weight and trim is stabilised before taking the slings off her and making lead shot in resin plates. I'll need to do this at the slips because it's a 1.5 hour voyage from the slips to where SOLSTICE will be moored. I might even chuck a few extra sand bags in the tender and tow it on her first trip home so I can adjust trim underway. When I first pull her out for her annual haul out and bum clean I'll be able to gauge where the water level is and be able to add a boot stripe to her and bring the anti foul up the sides. Until then I'll just do the bottom and about 100mm up the sides.

PS: 1st photo reminds be of beginning of a "Twilight Zone" episode... maybe you know the 1950/60's TV show with Rod Serling as creator/moderator, and often script writer too. He also was a genius! Too many ciggies took him down! Died way too early. Was a good boxer when young.
OK good Matt,
Art un I wuz wounder'in.
Probably the way a PO made the scuppers on Willy. Actually they were probably were much more low tech. Were not an ellipse but a slot w half circle ends.
Thanks Matt.

Mr. H. Ahhh....Plink!
