From the builder:
Hull and interior cabin liner are made with hand layed fiberglass using all vinylester resin. The deck, cabin roof and cockpit are made of carbon fiber and vinylester resin. Horizontal portions of the deck are non-skid and contain balsa core for added strength. This creates a rigid and light-weight structure. The cabin/deck structure is so strong that a compression post is not required.
Jerry Montgomery explains why carbon fiber is used for the deck – “Since the deck is well above the waterline, it’s anti-ballast. Saving 100 pounds in the deck (and we’ve saved more than that) eliminates the need for about 200 lbs of ballast to arrive at the same righting moment. Combined this saves at least 300 lbs of weight. It’s obvious what this does for performance and for trailering.” The transom is carbon fiber to reduce weight aft and keep Sage 17 on her lines. A boarding ladder and fixed height motor mount are standard. The hull deck joint is an outward flange that is chemically bonded and then through bolted on six inch centers. The joint is capped with a teak toe rail.
