E-glass, epoxy & Core-Cell
NEB Composites Team used vacuum-bagged Core-Cell linear foam core, quadraxial E-glass, and epoxy resin—add up to speed and fuel efficiency. During sea trials this Sparkman & Stephens-designed beauty hit 35 knots with ease, running smoothly and quietly. The yacht features three cored-fiberglass watertight bulkheads and one watertight door with window into the engine room; the hull, deck, superstructure, and all transverse frames and longitudinal stiffeners are built to exceed ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) requirements. Simplicity, safety, and seaworthiness are the keywords in the design and construction of this motoryacht. The Owner, a very experienced boat owner, has also placed high emphasis on the well-organized engine room, straightforward systems design for easy service access, and the practical, attractively finished interior with traditional, understated styling.
