Construction, Deck and Hull

The LS 26’s construction combines the best features and aesthetics of a wooden boat, and the strength, rigidity, and low maintenance of fiberglass. The hull is “cold molded:”four (1/8″) layers of Western Red Cedar are impregnated with West System epoxy, covered with a layer of 6oz fiberglass cloth for durability. All veneers are vacuum-bagged between plies. Full-length stringers, structural bulkheads, and joiner work are fully bonded to the hull to form a stiff monolithic structure.

The deck is Xynol-covered plywood over laminated spruce beams.

The cockpit drains through a slatted teak sole to a bilge with both an automatic electric bilge pump on a float switch, and a manual Guzzler-type bilge pump near the helm.

The fin keel is a lead casting with 3% antimony for strength. The keel is bedded in3M 5200and thru-bolted to the hull with stainless steel keel bolts. Welded stiffners on the stainless steel rudder stock distribute the steering loads to the fiberglass rudder skins.

Chainplates are thru-bolted to the hull structure.

All deck hardware is bedded and thru-bolted with backing plates/washers.
