Anyone familiar with this design? I was tempted, but it appears to be slightly too narrow to take National frames resting across the top. Looks like the inside is lined with fibreglass too, which I'm really not sure about.

It will be covered and sealed with Gelcoat which is cured polyester resin - totally food safe but - I would have preferred the smooth surface created when a mould is used.
