"The hull design incorporates provision for sacrificial impact zones, these are visible in the photo above within areas of the stem/bow centerline. The sacrificial areas add increased structural integrity and safety to the vessel.

Lamination of the composite hull shell incorporated Eglass and carbon fiber multi-axial skins, and high strength foam cores. The vessel is built to class, complying with strict quality standards of both GL and MCA."
