CONSTRUCTION & EQUIPMENT
This hull and deck are constructed from a hand laid laminate of blister resistant Vinylester laminating resin reinforced with a knit hybrid fabric of Kevlar/E-glass for strength against repeated impact. A balsa core is vacuum bagged into the laminate to provide the greatest degree of stiffness and thermal/acoustical insulation possible. The skin coat is chopped mat in low-shrink Vinylester resin to provide a superior surface finish and a greater resistance to water osmosis. The core is removed and the hull is massively reinforced with additional layer of fiberglass in such areas as the hull/deck connecting flange, centerline and keel, chain plates, rudderpost, and all through-hull fittings. AIRBORNE has external lead ballast with a fiberglass centerboard, and a skeg protected rudder. She draws 5’-10” with centerboard up and 11’-10” with centerboard down.
The deck is one piece fiberglass molding which incorporates a hybrid knit fabric of Kevlar/E-glass to reduce weight over core material of cross-linked, closed cell, PVC foam. Core is deleted and replaced with solid layer of reinforcing glass laminate in the way of major penetrations and high stress areas. The core is vacuum bagged to the outside skin using a special adhesive. The hull has a recess flange molded in to receive the deck that is then bonded and thru-bolted to form a permanent watertight, hull/deck joint. Interior bulkheads are then bonded to the deck using bi-axial fiberglass.
Hull is Flag Blue Awlgrip with gold cove stripe, single while boot stripe (all new 2020) and red bottom (new paint June 2023). Teak rub rail with stainless striker – port side new 2020.
Deck is white gelcoat with beige non-skid.
