DuraKore®Developed by ATL Composites, DuraKore® Strip Planks combine the best elements of traditional wooden boat building techniques with advanced, lightweight, composite materials. Engineered as an advance in marine strip planking construction, DuraKore® builds a stiffer structure with less weight than conventional timber materials. It is easier to form into shape, better to handle, and more durable. DuraKore® brings sophisticated composite boat construction within the reach of anyone possessing reasonable mechanical/woodworking skills. Construction proceeds in small, logical steps, and allows the home builder to achieve a high quality finish. The professional builder will find that DuraKore® allows construction of a very competitive boat in terms of strength-to-weight, stiffness-to-weight, and durability, at less cost than other forms of one-off construction. DuraKore® is also excellent for building running plugs and prototypes, allowing production builders the opportunity to recoup a good deal of new-model tooling costs.
