Wood is light and strong, pliant yet remarkably stiff. It is warm, quiet and does not sweat. For the artistry of the shipwright, wood is also the material of choice, providing unmatched interior beauty and comfort. Epoxy Composite Construction Epoxy Composite construction has revolutionized boat building over the last 25 years.
Boat builders are able to build stronger, lighter and more durable boats than ever.
Epoxy composite construction consists of bonding all of the materials and parts of the boat together which results in a structure superior than the components by themselves. The key ingredient to composite construction is epoxy, . The moisture resistant properties of epoxy add to the advantages of wood, strength, stiffness, lightweight, resistance to fatigue, availability, cost and beauty. Because all components are protected by an epoxy moisture barrier and the moisture content is stabilized, problems associated with wooden boats, rot, joint cracks, structural members swelling or shrinking are eliminated. Epoxy Composite Construction allows the builder to offer boats in a wide range of custom designs.
