Construction Details

The Bieker 765 was built by Phil Jameson in Auckland, NZ.


The hull was built of strip planked red cedar with carbon/epoxy skins. 


The deck and cockpit were built on simple molds with carbon skins on foam core.


All interior structure is built from lightweight composite panels cut out to accurate computer patterns for minimum weight and minimum waste.


Foils were built in carbon/epoxy/foam in CNC machined female molds.


The carbon spar and boom were built by Alex Vallings (C-tech, NZ).  Standing rigging is discontinuous rod. Carbon rack tubing was produced by Killwell in NZ.
