Hull and deck

The vessel was designed by Doug Petersen, (3 time America’s Cup winning designer) and built by the Formosa Boat Building Co. for the Georgian Custom Yachts Inc to a very high standard of quality.

She is a fully molded fiberglass hull & keel with encapsulated lead ballast. Hull to deck joint is fully through-bolted and bonded with a teak cap rail. When first commissioned by the previous owners, the hull was stripped to the gel coat below the water line and coated with 2 coats of Interprotect 2000, barrier coat. Above the water line the vessel was completely sanded, faired, primed and painted with three coats of International paint.
