Early Carbon Fiber Spoon

 

 

This was one of the earliest carbon fiber spoons. Not sure of the date. Maybe 1980?

I'm laying up the bottom of a mold I made for myself...it was the same length as George's, but about an inch wider.

I was using high temperature epoxy that George had custom ordered for use on his spoons. It needed a lot of warmth to even be workable, so I could laminate in the midday sun without any worries.

The boat in the background was the original Greenough hull. 13 feet, as I recall...
