HULL CONSTRUCTION

Hull and superstructure are heavy duty hand lay-up GRP mouldings. In the hull, woven rovings and chopped strand mat are used in combination, with thickness increasing progressively towards the keel area. The deck is of a sandwich type construction using balsa core stiffening in walking areas with stress areas, such as winch plinths, reinforced with plywood infill. Bulkheads are glassed in, and the entire deck is bonded to the hull resulting in a strong and integrated unit. The interior joinery is of teak and teak faced plywood, built onto GRP base modules which are also “glassed” into the hull

• Hull colour: White

• Deck colour: White

• Boot-top and style: Blue

​

VARIABLE DRAFT KEEL

The cast iron grounding plate is bolted into a recess in the hull acting as transverse stiffening in way of the keel slot and protecting the hull when taking the ground. The aerofoil swing keel is cast iron with a stainless steel pivot fitting into a substantial boss at the forward end of the grounding plate. The swing keel is raised by an electrically operated hydraulic system with a single ram, which is attached to the swing keel by a pulley system.
