New Boon FRP Solo - Hull Specification
The build specification of each hull has been carefully designed to maximise weight concentration, stiffness and skin strength. To these ends every hull is laid up using polyester gel coat and a uniquely developed epoxy tie coat to provide excellent adhesion to the epoxy used in the rest of the lay up. Biaxial cloth is used in both the inner and outer skins of the boat with perforated close cell structural foam bonded between. Various thicknesses of foam are used throughout the boat. This combination provides the ultimate strength and durability required from this cutting edge Solo design. Much time and effort was spent working within the tight constraints of the class rules to develop and construct a deck mould that not only performs well ergonomically but adds considerably to the aesthetics and most importantly overall hull strength. Manufactured using the same materials as the hull, the deck also displays the same strength and toughness characteristics as the hull. The hull & deck are bonded together with a unique blend of epoxy & additives to provide what we believe to be the stiffest Solo currently available.
