Question:
How does Tige produce this?
Answer:
Carefully
I used to work in a factory that made parts by the lost wax process. We made a wax pattern in a metal die, and to get the wax pattern out, you had to disassemble the die. Some of the dies we ran warm so the wax would still be soft, and not break as the die was opened.
With the Tige' design, it looks like it would be fairly easy to pull the bow up out of the mold a little at first, and then work the hull forward, releasing the details on the transom from the mold.
I understand that when Mastercraft started to make the tri-hull (oops, picklefork) they had a lot of problems getting those boats out of the mold.
