Deck and Hull

Construction of the hull consists of hand laid solid fiberglass, bonded to a structural grid for a strong, stiff, light composite. A vinylester hull barrier coat is applied at the factory to resist blistering. The deck is a sandwich construction utilizing end grain balsa wood between layers of fiberglass for stiffness, thermal and acoustic insulation and lighter weight.
