Maximum durability and value. Tufskin technology uses layers of 3-dimensional 400g glass mat wetted out with an expanding epoxy resin system that creates volume within the skin as it cures under pressure.

Starboard’s new technology uses a soft deck and soft rail construction, over a glass fibre shell that wraps around an extra-high density EPS core. A 3mm stringer adds extra longitudinal stiffness and a 0.6mm pine wood covers...
