Based on Zyvex’s work for NASA in developing composite-in-composite materials, NanoSolve disperses carbon nanotubes into the epoxy matrix to provide stiffer and tougher composite structures. With a tensile strength 5-10 times higher than carbon fibers, nanotubes reinforce the epoxy and make the entire structure significantly stronger.

The mast is constructed with high-modulus carbon fiber that is impregnated with NanoSolve enhanced epoxy resin, increasing mast strength without added weight or work in the construction process. The keel foil, the most critical structure of the ship, which runs along the centerline at the bottom of a vessel's hull, is also strengthened with NanoSolve materials. Even the paint on the yacht is enhanced through nanotechnology; Zyvex claims it prevents any marine growth under the waterline of the yacht without the need of toxins.
