Hull Construction
"Coreless Technology" ~epoxy matrix~ vacuum bagged
     A coreless hull  (rather than honeycomb) below the waterline eliminates porosity problems common to honeycomb and is highly resistant to impact damage. Models SLX and SE further increase resistance to impact damage by combining Kevlar with the "coreless" Carbon laminate.

     0/90 degrees Carbon Fiber for longitudinal stiffness

     +/-45 degrees Carbon Fiber for torsional stiffness

     Hull Shape
Based on actual race results: The Dirigo hull shape has won more races worldwide than any other design. "Parallel gunwale" design provides maximum longitudinal stiffness, less water in boat and maximum hip clearance.
 

     Cockpit Monocoque
Molded with carbon fiber faces over Nomex Honeycomb and Divinycell foam core with an epoxy matrix.

     Riggers
Dirigo , "Euro" or carbon

     Seats
 "Single" or "double action"

     Stretchers
Fully adjustable. Shoes are leather with velcro release straps.
