ENGINEERING & FABRICATION<br />
BUILT LIKE NO OTHER.<br />
RESIN INFUSION/VACUUM BAGGING – This pioneering technique<br />
makes our boats lighter, stronger and more fuel-efficient. Creating a<br />
vacuum seal bond between resins, hand-laid fiberglass cloth, and coring<br />
materials delivers greater strength and rigidity while shedding 20 to 40%<br />
of the weight in boats built with traditional materials and techniques.<br />
CUSTOM RESINS – Collaborating with world leaders in resin technology,<br />
<strong>Intrepid</strong> has developed specialized, low-density resins that provide<br />
unmatched adhesion and durability with up to 40% less weight.<br />
FABRIC REINFORCEMENT – To ensure the utmost in durability and<br />
virtually eliminate stress fractures, hand-laid uni- and multi-directional<br />
fiberglass fabrics are precision engineered to withstand the various<br />
stresses and loads that different parts of the boat must endure in<br />
prolonged exposure to rough seas.<br />
SMALL PARTS FABRICATION - Our small parts go through the same<br />
rigorous fabrication process as the boat’s hull and deck, which add<br />
strength and stability to every <strong>Intrepid</strong>.<br />
KNITTED FABRICS – Our fiberglass cloth provides a 20% increase in<br />
tensile strength over the woven fabrics commonly used in the industry.<br />
They require less resin to “wet out” which makes our boats lighter, and<br />
the lower profile of knitted fabrics creates less “print-through” for a<br />
smoother finish.<br />
