Covey Island's reputation for quality is built on more than sixty custom vessels. Covey Island has been named builder of the 143' racing schooner 'Bluenose Pride'. The result is an unrivalled ratio of strength to weight and a very low requirement for maintenance. Wood, still one of the best boatbuilding materials, offers beauty, strength and inherent durability. Appropriate use of epoxy sustains and intensifies these qualities by forming a vapour barrier over and between the wood.
Moisture can neither penetrate nore circulate through the hull.
Because the wood remains dry, it maintains its maximum strength and durability. Paint does not blister. Rot is not a problem. Hull sheathed with 3 layers of 11 oz. E-glass set in epoxy.
