Individual Options

 
Hull

• Hull construction is a vacuum infused BPA epoxy, unidirectional “E” glass, and synthetic cored laminate locally reinforced with carbon fiber.

• Carbon fiber uni-directional reinforcements in way of keel, chain plates and centerline for high strength and rigidity

• The incredible adhesion properties of BPA epoxy allows the structural laminate to be comprised primarily of uni-directional fibers instead of chopped strand mat. Chopped strand mat is the cheapest, heaviest, and weakest component and dominates conventional polyester hull construction

• Pound-for-pound an infused BPA epoxy resin laminate is far stronger than any polyester resin laminate

• Hull cosmetics are also enhanced by the extremely low shrinkage of epoxy resin vs. polyester resin and the reduction in overall resin content thus eliminating or reducing post-cure hull distortions found in conventional polyester laminates

* The vacuum infusion process and strict resin control produces a hull laminate with 65% glass reinforcement content. The industry norm for polyester resin hull laminates is 25% glass content. Our laminating process produces a stronger yet lighter hull

* Synthetic foam coring is used for maximum impact resistance, stiffness, strength, and light weight. The cored hull also offers superior hull insulating properties, both thermal and acoustical

• The laminate is reinforced with multiple plies of high-tensile carbon-fiber unidirectional reinforcements in highly loaded areas of the hull

• Premium grade gelcoat provides superior gloss, fade resistance, and resistance to surface crazing

• Interior is completely painted out for enhanced cosmetics and to seal interior laminate surfaces

• Hull is backed by a transferable 15-year no blister, hull structure warranty

Deck 

• Deck is a balanced composite laminate utilizing Phenol B epoxy resin, unidirectional “E”-glass reinforcement, and high strength/stiffness Baltek premium sealed balsa coring

• Our custom resin infusion process creates the best resin to glass reinforcement ratio possible resulting in the stiffest, lightest, strongest deck in production boatbuilding

• The deck is locally reinforced at high load areas with additional plies of bidirectional “E”-glass reinforcement

• White, light gray, or white/sandstone and white/gray two-tone decks with patterned non-skid are available

• Premium grade gelcoat provides superior gloss, resistance to fading, and resistance to crazing

• Deck coring windows are located at all hardware installations to maintain the watertight integrity of the deck coring

• Hull to deck joint is secured with 1/4-20 stainless machine screws installed on 4” centers through the full-length 6061 T6 aluminum backing plate imbedded in the hull flange. This method exceeds the recommended installation requirements of the ABS scantling for offshore sailing yachts.

• Hull to deck joint is sealed with 3M 5200 adhesive sealant

• Hinge-up carbon-fiber reinforced helm seat with gas shock support

• Composite light RTM match-molded deck locker hatches assure strict thickness controls allowing accurate gasket seal of cockpit openings. Conventional

construction uses single-sided moldings with painted raw fiberglass underside.

Interior
