HULL
-
Deep-V designed by Ray Hunt
-
To promote the lightness so essential to high-speed performance, the hull is built of cold molded plywood. The skin is in three layers of five-ply 3/8-inch plywood, the two inner layers diagonal and the outer one fore and aft. In addition, there is a ½ inch sheet running down the centerline. The planking is continuous across the bottom, and there are no frames in the usual sense; the boat is built on longitudinal stringers and athwartship bulkheads.
