Some of us who actually care about boats and know a little about them,
people like me, are intrigued when an unexplained material is being used
in an expensive new boat. Some of us who don't care about boats and no
nothing about them, people like you, don't notice the significance of an
unexplained material used in an expensive new boat.

There are many materials that can be used in "infused" composite
boatbuilding, including carbon fiber, fiberglass, kevlar, even wood
strips. Is the thermosetting material epoxy? Vinylester? It isn't even
clear the hull material is solid, as opposed to cored.


Harry, here is a bunch of info on the codeveloper of the NW 42, including
his email address. If, as you say, you are so interested, ask him your
technical questions.

Please come back and let us know the questions and answers.

Not interested. Only thought it was peculiar the advertorial mentioned a
hull material that was not properly defined. If I were buying that sort
of boat, it wouldn't have an "infused composite" hull.
