"Turangalila" is constructed using state-of-the-art materials and modern techniques that emphasize strength, lightweight performance, and resistance to punctures. The hull design prioritizes safety, efficiency, and fuel economy at all speeds.

The Corecell foam adds strength, durability, and water resistance.
