As you can see, this is a very deep V hull without any wood used in construction. The bulkhead system is a glass fibre "chassis" which is blown with foam, and fitted into the hull. The bulkheads created by this structure are then foam filled making for a very rigid, strong and cohesive structure.<br /><br />The transom is a high density composite designed specifically for this purpose and the deck will be a rigid composite sandwich.<br /><br />All this will result in an extremely light and practically indestructable vessel.Graeme Duane
