Bote-Cote Bote-Cote is the Australian developed and manufactured epoxy system for modern boat building. It is ideal for laminating large components, strip planking and cold moulding. These methods allow efficient use of small section timber so that that plantation and regrowth wood can be used in boat construction. This conserves our forests for future generations and saves you, the boat builder, money. Bote-Cote seals the timber and reinforces its inherently high strength to weight ratio properties. Bote-Cote and timber boats are stronger and lighter than those made from other materials such as fiberglass, steel or aluminium. This makes the Bote-Cote epoxy system and timber a natural choice for some of the worlds fastest racing yachts.
