Arcadia builds the 85?s hull and main deck using quality gelcoat and multiple laminations of fiberglass, employing unidirectionals, biaxials and combination mats where specified.

The first three layers are laminated with vinylester resin followed by layers of isophthalic resin. PVC coring in the sides adds stiffness without excess weight. Aluminum and double-glazed glass form the vessel?s pilothouse and salon ceilings.
