This week we will mold the hull of the first Back Cove 37. The process we are going to use is new to our boats but not new to us as a company. For years we infused boats for other boat builders, now we are going to use this technique for our own parts.
Infusion is a molding technique where all of the fiberglass and coring materials are loaded into the mold dry. Then a plastic bag is laid over the top of the materials and sealed along it's edges. Once fully prepared ,resin is sucked into the bag and "infuses" itself into the fiberglass. When the process is complete the part has better strength characteristics and tends to weigh less. From the technicians and environmental point of view it's much cleaner too.
Over the next two to three months we'll show you the first Back Cove 37 going from start to sea trial. Stay tuned
