Fine Wooden Boats has the ability to manufacture in composites using methods from vacuum infusion to wet layup of fabrics. Fine Wooden Boats has undertaken work with polyester and epoxy resin types. In the manufacturing process of the Super Azzurro our team had to first make a split mould to produce the hull of the Super Azzurro.
The mould is then used to produce an epoxy composite hull made up of carbon fibre glass fibre and aramid cloth, Our team produce this by way of vacuum bagging.
