ABSTRACT:
Sandwich fiberglass laminate components and a process for fabricating same for boats and the like. The process employs a unique vacuum manifold (12) incorporated into the mold to an inner layer (3) of the component. Also, recesses in the mold are covered with pre-made inserts (22) molded into the layer to form hollow boxes (4, 5) for instruments, consoles and beams. The hollow boxes may be reinforced with metal inserts (20) for attaching support beams. Atmospheric feed holes (21) are drilled into the hollow boxes to prevent collapse of the boxes during the molding process and to yield a better mold. After the molding process the periphery of the component may be trimmed to form an integral edge (7) of the component. This process results in a sandwich fiberglass boat hull or other component having finished inner (3) and outer (2) layers with hollow boxes for instruments, consoles and support beams which are integral with at least one layer of the component and edges without layer separation.
