Hi Andy, you could contact your nearest aero-modelling club, they might have designers that can mould GRP sections. The usual scheme involves cutting blue foam into the right section with a hot wire and template, then layering the GRP over the top, with a final pigmented gel-coat.
If you use carbon fibre, you can choose how many strands are in each direction, for the strength that you require.
