hydraulic rams that lift the bridge deck for engine access.

FROM THE ARCHIVES

“Performance and strength are

derived from the Airex core in the

hull and Airlite in the deck and

superstructure. The E-glass and

epoxy resins are vacuum-bagged

and oven-cured. Carbon fi ber

is used to stiff en the longitudinal

stringers without adding weight.”
