The Hull is Fiberglass and Kevlar, Vinyl Ester Resin plus a layer of Kevlar S-Glass and E-Glass Triaxial Fabric to provide ultimate impact strength. The Decks are Teak, Fiberglass and Okoume Composite. The Spars are Carbon Fiber. The Exterior of the Hull is AwlGrip.

The vessel has a Plug-In Hybrid Electric Propulsion System including an 18 KW Life-Line Electric Motor (power comparable to 60HP Diesel), a Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Bank and a Panda 22KW 144VDC Turbo-Diesel Generator.The Hybrid Electric Propulsion System allows the vessel to travel completely under Electric Power with support from the Generator. The Generator is extremely well-insulated and is hardly noticeable when running. Generator turns on automatically when the Propulsion Batteries are at 40% (customizable) and only take 45 minutes to get back to full charge!

This Cape George 45 must be seen to appreciate the incredible workmanship that went in to create this highly sophisticated yet intuitive vessel. Cape George Yachts incorporate the traditional lines of Colin Archer and William Atkin with an evolved understanding of hydrodynamics and efficiency to create a performance sailing experience by combining a modern understanding of hull design, by Tim Nolan and Carl Chamberlin, creating a vessel that draws our eye traditionally and has more interior volume, sails closer to the wind and heels less than its sailing ancestors. The boat is designed with intuitive and contemporary systems and equipment that make Motor and Vessel Monitoring Systems Management understandable and clear.

The Exterior of the S/V Robert Lewis is gorgeously finished and well laid out for being underway or at anchor. The Cockpit is beautifully built, ergonomic and safe. The teak composite decks are wide and easy to maneuver fore and aft with Stainless Steel Life-Lines and Handrails for safety.
