Sterling built another hybrid infused/composite Illusion 
we added carbon combings and bulkheads to this new build
#IL-627     it's a classic --weighs 45 lbs

We experimented with the infused/composite lay-up
adding weight saving carbon in the combing & bulkheads
weight saving kevlar on the inside seam
and weight saving techniques in the construction

​​This adds strength to the infused composite lay-up
and creates  a lay-up weight i​n-between the composite infused lay-up 
and the carbon/kevlar infused lay-up 
Weighing in @ 45 lbs  it's approx. 4 lbs less than the infused composite lay-up


​Mission Accomplished!
Retail price $ 6399.
