Vilm yachts were the first ones where fiberglass was used. All Vilm hulls and decks yachts are laid up with isophtalic-acid resin and gelcoat. This special resin is considerably more expensive than ordinary boat building resins (and therefore rarely used); however, it absorbs very little moisture. This combined with a special method of exclusively hand-laying selected glass roving, matting and bi-axial glass provides a far stronger and extremely durable hull, deck, and superstructure.

I think this information will be interesting for, otherwise you are a great expert of Vilm cruising yachts. I would say that this article is rather for beginners. Every detail of these fine yachts shows the builders' many years of sailing experience. The cockpit is deep and offers unequalled, comfortable seating with very high backrests. The fiberglass dog house offers protection from the elements.
