2013 ShearWater 25 Bay

The ShearWater® hull design is precisely produced utilizing the ShearWater® exclusive “HPI” double hull foam core injected process. The ShearWater® “HPI” process incorporates a structurally sound outer hull chemically bonded to a matching full length complete inner hull with high strength water proof closed cell foam structural flotation foam core injected under pressure between the two hulls.

The outer hull is structurally sound without the addition of the inner hull. The 100% All composite outer hull is hand laminated utilizing fine finish exterior fiberglass matt, high strength structural biaxial fiberglass fabric, composite core material and a layer of Dupont Kevlar over the entire bottom for extreme strength and puncture resistance. The outer hull is structurally reinforced with hand laminated full-length composite stringers and keel. The high-density composite transom is reinforced with hand laminated composite knee braces. The totally sealed and filled double hull structure eliminates the possibility of water intrusion into the hull. One of the most important benefits of the advanced “HPI” technology is undoubtedly the extreme safety factor built into every boat. The benefits of the “HPI” process are further enhanced through the use of the ShearWater exclusive process of chemically bonding the deck to the double hull creating a solid unitized one-piece structure.
