This is the true beauty of the Carlson Boatworks 25. The feel and look of carefully sculpted wood is an amazing accomplishment that will be admired by everyone. The complex boat design is made of an extensive matrix of individual pieces brought together into one robust structure. With over 500 individual pieces of wood in the structure assembly, one might wonder if it is too complicated and why it is not made in a mold out of fiberglass resin. True to the Mission Statement of Carlson Boatworks, this design speaks to the ultimate performance for the owners and occupants of the boat, measured in completely tangible quality. Hand inspecting every one of these many pieces assures the total quality of every square inch of the final product. The structure is built around a floating frame design that creates an efficient skeleton, eliminating hard spots in the hull. This design spreads the wave impact energy out across the boat rather than focusing it directly on the immediate frame member, thus reducing the jolts and bounces that are then transferred to the occupants. One of the largest contributors to the strength of a boat is the outer skin that surrounds the internal structure. Using three layers of material installed in opposing directions creates a matrix structure as capable as the finest fiberglass hulls, but of a material that accomplishes the special requirements necessary for the refined ride found only in a wooden boat. |
