Construction of extreme 24 hull?

I'm curious to know if the hull of my extreme 24 is twin skin or just solid glass, would be nice to know?

Thanks

Rick

Wimp!! Just drill a big 'ole through the hull and ave a look!

Be sure to fill it with gripfill after though so it's a professional job!

Nooooo. I ran out of gripfill and glass a long time ago, now I just tape & blu-tack cardboard to the inside. I'll sell it quick so no one notices! Shhh, don't tell anyone!

Maybe PM Tony Davis if you haven't already, or put a post in general entitled 'free doghnuts!' You'll get his or Jon's attention and I'm sure one of them will know!
