Resin usedis epoxy from West Systems. Foam is corecell..

Paint andfiller used is awlgrip, awlfare. 2 componet polyurenthane paint – coloursnowhite

No osmosispossible with epoxy, less weight since more strength. Hull has been soroughlycured. 

Basic production steps:

1.) Plug: Out of a wooden CNC cut sceletton designed by the famous french architect  a male plug - actually a complete hull - is made out of foam stripes screwed to the wooden sceletton. This is then overlaminated first outside and then inside by epoxy vacum infusion.

2.) Mould: Out of the male plug a negative mould is made consisting of a center part and two side parts.

3.) Parts production: Many parts like the setee or the sink been produced off the boat

4.) Infusion of the boat: The mould is layed out with a outer fiber / kevlar skin - a foam core of Corecell and a inner fiber skin. Then the 3 parts of the hull are infused with epoxy in one go. For the infusion the most expansive available material have been used (Corecell foam, high quality marine epoxy, kevlar under the waterline)
