Construction

Hull construction is a combination 1-1/2-ounce mat, 18-ounce biaxial, and 24-ounce directional fiberglass set in polyester resin with an isopththalic gelcoat. The first two laminations are vinylester, which have proven superior in preventing blistering. Airex core, 5/8-inch thick, is standard. The deck is balsa-cored. The hull/deck joint is bonded with 3M 5200 and through-bolted every six inches.

In their heyday, the BI 40 had a good racing record. In the 1960 Bermuda Race six of the first 11 places were won by BI 40s.
