Randy - No molds for the Europa, I'll leave all of that work up to Carriage House ;-)
Last weekend I added the foam core and more fiberglass to the mold. Next is to add some structural support then pull it from the body. At the beginning of this process I purchased a new vacuum pump and I've learned a valuable lesson - you can never have too much breather ply under the vacuum fitting! The pump drew resin up through the mat, multiple layers of breather ply and into the end of the vacuum fitting. Next project I'll use a barrier ply. Anyway, here's a few pictures from last weekend.
