Here is some of the Manufacture information: "Because we build more high performance sailboats, that are pushed to the limit in tough conditions than anyone else in the world, J/28 construction exceeds ABS Standards and those of typical cruising boat builders. For example, the J/28 has a full-width laminated structural bulkhead which is taped on both sides to the hull and deck.  The boat is structurally tied together and this bulkhead also anchors shroud chainplates. An external lead keel is bolted and epoxy-bonded to a fiberglass sump which is further reinforced by solid fiberglass transverse floor beams. The hull to deck joint is bonded then bolted on 4-inch centers. Both hull and deck are a Lloyd's approved Bastek Contourkore, end grain balsa FRP hand lamination. High strength and stiffness contribute to improved performance when pounding through waves and longer hull life because there's no oil canning......"
