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. There is a balsa core in the topsides that stops just above the waterline. The deck is of sandwich type construction using balsa core stiffening, with plywood in high stress areas where fixings are positioned. Bulkheads are glassed in, and the entire deck is bonded to the hull resulting in a strong and integrated unit. A teak rubbing strake is fitted externally. The interior joinery is of American Cherry faced plywood, with solid wood trims built onto GRP base modules which are also “glassed” into the hull.

• Hull colour: Off-White

• Deck colour: Off-White

• Boot-top and style lines: Dark Blue

• Underwater: Blue anti fouling

​

VARIABLE DRAFT KEEL

The cast iron grounding plate is bolted into a recess in the hull using stainless steel bolts. It acts as transverse stiffening in way of the keel slot and protects 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 a Electrically single ram hydraulic system which is attached to the swing keel by a pulley system and can be operated from cockpit or chart table The keel pennant was replaced with new in 2021.
