Construction begins with an intricate jig framework

The jig is assembled from carefully pre-cut sections.
Each individual stringer is built, from the keel out.
Simultaneously another group of workers starts to work on the sheer of the boat

Finishing the Hull

The F&S hull layup process utilizes three layers of half-inch Okume plywood on the bottom with an extra inch for good measure in the engine room and bulkheads and a layer of biaxial fiberglass between the second and third layer of Okume. This gives extra strength to stress points and the boat’s heavy machinery.

Kevlar-Lamination for Strength

Hull bottoms are laminated in kevlar to add additional strength, rigidity, and puncture protection.
