This means that the builder and designer have to spend increasingly more effort in keeping the displacement, sail are and ballast ratios in the correct relation. High tech materials such as Carbon fiber, Aramide in combination with Epoxy resin plus Balsa, Foam or honeycomb sandwich materials and in addition utilizing vacuum bagging laminating technique are tools that when used correctly have made it possible to make the necessary weight savings possible. Systems engineering and equipment choice is aimed at simplicity yet use all the best components available today. Many of these components are inherently heavy which puts additional emphasis on weight control in the construction process. The hull is Carbon and Kevlar fibers with foam core sandwich the deck and superstructure will are all Carbon.
All laminates are in Epoxy and utilizing vacuum bagging laminating techniques.
All measurements are approximate.
