Cold Molded
Recognizing wood’s superior qualities and honoring the millenary tradition of wood working craftsmanship in Turkey, Vicem proudly continues to utilize traditional boat building method but with a contemporary twist. All the Vicem Vintage Line yachts - which includes Classic, Flybridge, Cruiser and Bahama Bay lines - are built with the Cold-Molded Process.This operation simply involves applying layers of thin solid-wood veneers, oriented at different angles, to be saturated by epoxy over a computer-designed mold. This marriage of engineered woods with formulated resins yields a hull that is lighter, stronger and more durable than traditionally built fiberglass boats.To this are added the widely acclaimed advantages in comfort, noise reduction, and insulation from the elements.
