• Off-White Oyster House and Deck with molded in Camel Brown gelcoat deck pattern

Construction: 

• Hull:  Hand laid laminate of blister resistant vinylester resin reinforced with a knit hybrid fabric of Kevlar/E-glass. A foam core is vacuum bagged into the laminate to provide the greatest degree of stiffness and thermal/acoustic insulation possible. This core is removed and additional layers of fiberglass are added in stress areas such as hull/deck connecting flange, centerline and keel, chainplates, rudder post, and all thru-hull fittings. A fiberglass hull stringer system is bonded to the hull and integrated with the mast step and engine mounts to form a single unit that is strong and light. 

• Deck:  One piece fiberglass molding which incorporates a hybrid knit fabric of Kevlar/E-glass to reduce weight and a core of cross-linked close celled PVC foam. The core is deleted and replaced with solid layers of reinforcing fiberglass in the way of major penetrations and stress areas. The hull 5 1/2" deck flange is laid up to receive the deck and are bonded together to assure a strong, permanent, water tight hull/deck joint.

• Marelon ball-valve type seacocks are installed flush with hull. 

• Molded external lead keel (provides protection in the event of grounding) is secured to the hull with 1" stainless steel bolts.

• Keel/centerboard underbody.
