Haines Signature Introduces Carbon Kevlar in 2015


With 55 years of innovation in the Australian Trailer Boat market, Haines Signature
Boats has invested significant time and resources developing a technology that
provides their hulls with maximum strength and increases the hull’s impact,
tear and penetration resistance.

Haines Signature Boats CEO John Haines said, “From 2015 the Haines Group will
introduce Carbon Kevlar fabric into our hulls.

“This introduction has allowed us to deliver boats that have an increase in overall
strength as well as providing a vast improvement to impact, tear and
penetration resistance.

“Quite frankly it is a class-leading technology that we are very proud to have added
to our manufacturing process,” said John.

Testing has shown that the strategic reinforcement of key planning areas in the hull
has created a stronger and more efficient hull without adding additional
weight. The Carbon Kevlar is tactically laid throughout the hull with the
fibres running in a specific direction. This focuses the reinforcement to areas
of the hull that take the highest impacts.

The structural resin is then combined with the Carbon Kevlar fabric, locking the
fibres in position providing immense impact resistance. Haines Signature then
sandwich the Carbon Kevlar fabric between multiple layers of fibreglass matting
and woven rovings to give the hull its unique strength. This is all
encapsulated in a durable UV resistant gel coat.

“The ability to build in strategic reinforcement has allowed Haines Signature to
provide a level of confidence unlike anything else,” said John Haines.

“Our 2015 built models will all feature this new build technology and we are
extremely proud and confident that the Best Just Got Better,” finished John
Haines.
