New England Boatworks-Construction Details
Utilizing a proven combination of vacuum-bagged, heat-cured E-glass inner and Kevlar outer skins, varying densities of Core-Cell and Airlite structural linear foam core (foam density is dictated by stress-map analysis), Snow Lion is stiff, tough, light, and strong. The hull mold has been constructed to high tolerances using computer-drawn, laser-cut framing, and the mold skin has been painstakingly faired. The pre-preg hull and deck laminates, which use SP Systems epoxy pre-preg uni-directional and double-bias fabrics, are heat-cured in NEB's full-size composites climate control room.
Thermocouples attached to the inside surface of the mold ensure that the cure temperature is correct and consistent throughout the hull and deck as the temperature is carefully ramped up, then held at 175 degrees (Fahrenheit) for a prescribed time period. In common with other Grand Prix NEB projects, Snow Lion features extensive custom-built carbon-fiber deck hardware components, designed by Ker Design in conjunction with NEB's Engineering Team, and built by NEB's Composites Team.
