All bulkheads, berths and lockers are laminated/glued to the hull to provide maximum structural rigidity.
Deck infused in 5 mm and 20 mm PVC for performance and insulation, and glued then laminated over the whole length of the joint, which gives it exceptional strength.
Infused polyester daggerboard wells: monolithic structure for higher strength
Moulded polyester daggerboards
Interior bulkheads are laminated (structural bulkheads) or glued to the hull
