The Outremer “State of the Art” High Performance/Lightwieght Catamaran Builiding Process

It’s starts with making molds. Image

After spraying gelcoat into the mold, lay down fiberglass and strategically place foam, for stiffness and weight savings.

Image

Above, the deck lying upside down in mold. Below, the same deck two days later being resin infused (cover in plastic and vacuum the resin to spread evenly throughout the whole deck).

Image

Image

The infusion process completes in 90 minutes. If not done properly, it must be remade. Below, the future look (right side up and out of mold)…

Davali’s hull waits impatiently, anticipating love at first sight.
