We build entirely in the WEST (Wood Epoxy Saturation Technique) method for logevity and low upkeep. Framework and outer planking are of the finest pattern grade Honduras mahogany. Inner planking is African (Okoume) mahogany imported from France. Construction time averages twelve months for runabouts and 1 1/2 to 2 years for larger boats. All painted surfaces are sheathed with Dynel cloth, which is 6 times more abrasive-resistent than fiberglass.Hugh Saint custom wooden boats have convex sectioned underbodies for a very soft and safe ride. Our special rudders provide excellent handling qualities at all speeds.
