Bolt Maritiem - Satellite 44

Polyworx has assisted Bolt Maritiem to implement the Vacuum Infusion process for infusion of a Satellite 44 (using ATC core-cell foam core and bakelite epoxy resin supplied by Brands Structural Products). Those pages present the infusion of the hull to illustrate our approach, and in particular the application of RTM-Worx. The entire project is documented in detail on their own website (in Dutch): http://www.boltmaritiem.nl.
