BulkWarks

On sandwich hulls where there is a bulwark or toe rail, we recommend that this be solid glass which means that any core material be removed.   You will later add stiffness to the bulwark by carrying the deck laminate and bonding up to the top of the sheer.   You may also add bulwark posts or webs to complete the strength of the bulwark.

Solid glass hulls naturally have solid bulwarks.
