Jutson 59Design Concept John McKay of Vision Yachts Pty Ltd, commissioned Scott Jutson to design a 59' luxury power cat to meet DNV High Speed Light Craft Code and AS4132: Survey category USL2C. John was keen to reduce labour and keep wastage to a minimum by using DuFLEX™ Composite panels wherever possible. Construction To achieve the compound shape of the hulls below the waterline, ATL Composites recommended the construction of a solid male mold using Duratec®174-002 White Surface Primer to prepare the surface of the mold, followed by Duratec 1794-005 VE Primer as an in-mold finish. The hull bottoms were cored with BALTEK®SB.100 contoured balsa and laminated with KINETIX® R246TX/H160 high performance epoxy, reinforced with 750grm warp triaxial E-fibreglass. Laminates and cores were vacuumed with Airtech vacuum bagging consumables supplied by ATL.
