Deck and Hull

The Liberty Gatsby’s hull is hand-laid fiberglass - exceptionally thick below the waterline for strength and longevity. Eighteen layers are used from the waterline to the rail, twenty from keel to waterline, and twenty-four in the keel itself. She received five coats of barrier coat in 2011. Above the waterline, the hull is insulated with half-inch end grain balsa for temperature and sound control. Decks are cored with end-grain balsa and finished with teak overlay. The teak decks were replaced with new ½” teak in 2004. Substantial teak caprails and rubrails with bronze strike plates complete her traditional look.Bronze Maxwell Nilsson vertical capstan anchor windlassForfjord 65lb anchor in hawse pipe with 300’ 3/8 chain(2) bronze cowl ventsMast and boom with wire rigging
