HULL
The hull was laminated using the Scrimp resin infusion process, creating a hull lamination that is completely uniform in the resin-to-fiber ratio as well as complete adhesion of the foam core material to the inner and outer skins. The Scrimp process results in an extremely strong hull and internal structure. Because of the owners’ desire for a traditionally styled interior and exterior, the deck of WINDWALKER II was built with a varnished teak cabin trunk with beautifully laid teak decks that were completely replaced in 2016. The deck was laid over laminated teak and ash deck beams, creating a beautifully detailed interior overhead scheme.
Topsides are black Awlgrip with clear coat. Gold leaf cove stripe, single white boot, green bottom. Painted rubrail with stainless striker (all paint new 2013). Bottom soda-blasted 2023 with new paint updated.
Her centerboard configuration offers minimum draft of 6’-6” with board up and maximum draft of 13-8” with board down.
