Extensive set of tools to go with the vessel
Hull: extremely strong and solid one piece fibreglass laminate for the hull, keel and skeg. All laminations incorporate an Amel exclusive flat woven bi-axial fibreglass cloth and are accomplished by hand.
Deck: hand laminated fibreglass with segmented end grain balsa core in the horizontal surfaces. There are substantial solid fibreglass laminated plates beneath all deck hardware that require backing plates.
Rudder: hand laminated fibreglass shell mounted on a solid stainless steel rudder shaft with stainless steel internal ribs. The rudder is attached to the full length skeg and the hull at three points.
Monocoque/multi-cellular structure: the hull, deck, bulkheads and the furniture are all laminated together to form one piece while the vessel is still in the mold. This homogenous assembly technique provides unsurpassed strength and structural integrity and eliminates the potential for leaks common in the more typical bolted/screwed hull to deck joint.
