I was chatting to a surveyor in Brittany that had just come back from Southampton. He was telling me that Elan, a brand I was quite keen on, were telling him it takes them three days to complete a hull. Elan use a vacuum infusion process, the same as Structures who built my boat. That is nuts different to mine, which was three whole weeks. I asked him how long it should take he grinned and patted my boat and replied unintelligibly in French.
I'm hoping that he said three weeks!

The screws have always been a temporarily clamp for bonding in fibreglass boats. Lots of deck to hull stuff is just bodyfiller in small boats like Lasers. I would be curious to find out what that goop Bavaria used in the hull deck bond was. There was Silaflex stuff about in the video but that brown stuff looked interesting.

Rubbish built by a robot no wonder they creak and groan in a seaway

Considering the French only work three hours per day, probably a fair comparison.

It would be boring having things square and having the other side of the boat exactly the same

No disputing that. Bavaria Yachts have the latest in design and building technology and are self funded. Thier standards are the highest.
