Scott Bader’s Crestapol 1250 urethane acrylate resin was used to manufacture the major hull and deck parts using a wet bag process. Infusion was used to create additional parts. Crestamould T27 polyester compound was used to produce moulds.
According to Scott Bader, its low exotherm allowed the moulds to be produced without any side effects from the high temperatures.
Additionally, Crestomer 1152PA structural adhesive was used for the structural bonding of the boat including bonding the stringer sets and the baffles into the fuel tanks. Crestomer 1196PA and Crestabond M1-30 were used to bond the heat formed foam to the hull.
Rob Hardy, marketing & sales manager at Composite Yacht, said: “As far as using Scott Bader products, they definitely provide a positive user experience throughout the lamination process as well as the subsequent vacuum draw down and cure procedure. We were able to produce an end product that was exactly as needed, from proper resin saturation to specific target weights. All of which were critical in providing the client with the desired result.”
