Pilini Marine Technologies building first 34 foot cat

[noli]

.




Due to colder than usual temps in Clearwater, FL, Jay has been holding off on the start of his latest catamaran build. But today, the temps have warmed up a bit and Jay began the build of his new 34 foot catamaran speedboat. We will be sharing in this thread the quality workmanship and high-end materials going into his latest 34 foot craft. Pictured below is one of Jay's long time team member shooting the skin coat onto the newly built mold of the 34 XCS.

"...we will be powering the new cat with 400R motors" Jay said. I can't wait to see this offshore cat's performance numbers!

"Gibby", Jay Pilini's in-house, sharp-eyed, blue winged shop manager closely inspects Jay's work. Gibby's strict adherence to build-codes finally gave his thumbs-up (or claw-up) on the beautiful skin coat application, the layup process was allowed to continue

But on a more serious note, "the kevlar laminate is being laid up and the carbon laminate will be applied later, making this laminate schedule one of the strongest and lightest for cats of this size", Jay said.

"All hands on deck" , literally!

Jay and crew are working hard to add the final touches to his 34 cat deck plug





The hull strakes and tunnel rail have been loaded with strips of core and bonding paste. This shall make the hull strong and void-free

Jay Pilini has been very busy. Pictured below is the first hull out of paint, which will be blocked soon. Hull #2 is in paint currently. Hull #3 and #4 are in assembly. Hull #5 is in the molds getting laid-up.

On top of the cat builds, Jay also has 5 CC boats currently in various stages of assembly. Talk about busy, Jay is definitely enjoying his busy schedule.
