Baja 35 Outlaw Atlanta GA

Construction
The Baja 35 Outlaw is built using the SCRIMP close-molded construction technology. After the gelcoat and a skin coat are applied to the mold, the fiberglass and carbon reinforcements and balsa coring are placed in the mold, a plastic bag covers the whole affair, and high vacuum pressure is used to draw the vinylester resin through the dry-stacked structure in one shot. This results in a precise glass-to-resin ratio (by weight, there's more fiberglass than resin with closed-molding, unlike open molding), and it eliminates secondary bonds since the whole structure, including stringers and other hull-support members, sets up at once. The result is a lighter hull with increased strength and stiffness compared to an open-molded hull of similar size, and lighter means faster for any given horsepower. A one-piece fiberglass stringer/grid system is bonded to the hull with adhesive, screws and through-bolts, and the cockpit in turn mates to and rests on the stringer system.
