Building the Shearwater 3 RHS 70 Hydrofoil

One of the major features were the Fiberglass life raft canisters , these were scratchbuilt using styrene tube and the spherical ends of dressmaking pins. The characteristic ridges were made of styrene strip wrapped around tube, taped and dipped into boiling water for a moment. When cool, the spiral was cut in half along its length and added to the base assembly , this was finished off with Black vinyl tape. The photos describe the process clearly.
