Hull & Superstructure:

On both the hull and superstructure we use an ISO resin and US made Valspar gelcoat. There is a teak caprail, but no teak on the decks or anywhere else outside.

The hull is solid hand-laid fiberglass. There is no coring anywhere in the thick hull. On the outer layers of the hull we use a vinylester resin which is more resistant to water penetration than a standard polyester resin. This helps to prevent blistering. To further eliminate the risk we also epoxy below the waterline on all of our new boats.

The superstructure is molded and also made from hand-laid fiberglass. To eliminate one of the common problems CHBs had during the 1970s and 1960s we use a synthetic honey comb coring material on the decks to eliminate any chance of rotting and leaking if water were to penetrate the decks. There is some structural plywood coring on the sides of the superstructure where the chance of water penetration is very low.


Cockpit and Lazarette:

The cockpit is very large for a boat of this size and makes an excellent place to set out a couple chairs and a small table to enjoy the scenery. Under the cockpit is a spacious lazarette that houses the batteries and still has a huge amount of storage space. At the aft end of the cockpit there is a hot/cold freshwater shower and just aft of that is a big swim grid and fold up stainless steel swimming ladder.

On the starboard side of the door to the salon there is a ladder leading to the expansive flybridge. As you get onto the top deck you will notice the huge area to lay out lounge chairs or store a 10’ hard bottom. Guests can sit and keep the captain company on this spacious upper deck. Forward of the helm seat is a storage locker that is about 8’ wide and 3.5’ deep. Above the helm is a radar arch with plenty of room to install all of the electronics you would ever want. Surrounding the entire upper deck are high 1 1⁄4” #316 stainless steel railings that give you a feeling of security.

The walk-around decks leading forward of the cockpit make docking the boat easy. Adding to their effect are two bulwark doors, one on each side of the boat which makes boarding easier. At the bow is a Vetus Windlass with 1100 lbs of lifting capacity and a standard 150’ of high-test galvanized chain. There is a self launching 45 lbs CQR type anchor and that can be lowered or lifted from the bow, the inside or flybridge helm.
