02 / LAYER SCHEDULE
Nothing on a Fulmar is sealed in for life. Every part below can be reached with a 10 mm spanner and a free afternoon at the workshop.

03 / FIT DIAGNOSTIC
We shim the seat in 4 mm foam steps until your hips touch both pads without squeezing.
Two contact points under the coaming lip, no pressure behind the knee. Edge the boat, then adjust.
The rail has 14 stops, 19 mm apart. We lock it where your knees sit just under the deck.
04 / FLEET
Same layup, same bulkhead logic, different envelopes. Bars show the conditions each boat is drawn for, not the most it will survive.
Low aft deck for rolling, three bulkheads, skeg and rudder both fitted. Built for week-long crossings.

More initial stability, one day hatch, skeg only. The one most of our regulars end up owning.
WIND0–18 KN
DAY RANGE12–30 KM
Wide, forgiving and short enough for a hatchback roof. Sized for younger paddlers and calm fjord arms.
