Figure
2. Hull Side Plan Shape view. One may note that Gromzer features
a wood-like finish and appearance. No, Gromzer is not comprised of solid
wood. No, Gromzer is not hollow. Um, nope, no ‘falsa’ airbrushing.
It’s not veneer either. Gromzer features Master-Designer Bert
Burger (note: no
longer with firewire) inspired vacuum formed balsa wood skins.
Gromzer was conventionally shaped from a WNC expanded polystyrene 2.5
PCF surfblank. Once shaped, a fiberglass and structural balsa composite
shell was vacuum formed to the exterior, tuned to shape, and then conventionally
laminated.
