[C320-list] Catalina 320 spun-bound polyester

[Chris Burti]

I've actually seen the schedule several years ago and am reasonable
certain that I recall substantial use of mat in the layup.

Thanks, Chris Burti From: Jack Russ

What you are looking at is called fiberglass matt.  This is commonly
used in fiberglass boat construction to buildup the thickness of the
laminate.  I do not know the fiberglass lamination schedule for the
320.  Unless someone on the forum knows the schedule, I would call or
email Gerry Douglas at Catalina Yachts and ask him.  That way you
could determine if it is part of the stock lamination or was used as a
repair.
