Sicomin, a global leader in advanced bio-based epoxy systems, announced its latest collaboration with Skaw Sailing and Shoreteam for the pioneering SKAW (A) foiling cruising yacht. Built by Shoreteam and designed by Benoit Marie and Clément Bercault, the SKAW (A) is a ground-breaking monohull scow that brings together a high-performance foiling design and a reduced environmental impact through Sicomin GreenPoxy resins.
The SKAW (A) represents the first-ever foiling cruising scow yacht, crafted for optimal speed, maneuverability, and eco-responsibility. The vessel leverages Sicomin’s GreenPoxy range to set new standards in sustainable performance. This innovative bio-based epoxy solution achieves industry-leading mechanical properties while significantly reducing the carbon footprint compared to traditional petroleum-based resins.
The monohull scow will be constructed using Sicomin’s high-modulus GreenPoxy solutions, including SR InfuGreen 171 for the infusion of larger parts and SR GreenPoxy 170 for the hand laminating and bonding of the secondary structures. Both resins provide the strength, durability, and quality essential for a high-performance yacht design and enable Shoreteam to achieve the ultra-lightweight 5000kg displacement and advanced mechanical performance necessary to achieve optimal foiling.
