How we vacuum bag complex geometry

We have had quite a few comments on our YouTube channel asking how we go about the process of vacuum bagging our laminates. In this case, we have a wet laminate joining the hulls to the front beam which we need to put under a vacuum. It’s a tricky one as it’s not a flat surface and the complex geometry of the front beam join means that sealing and pulling a vacuum around it will have some challenges.

Here we break down the process in some detail to show you how a composites expert would tackle the problem on his own boat.
