CONSTRUCTION

Hull: The heavy duty hand laid GRP moulding uses Northshores Nordseal laminating system to incorporate multi axial and unidirectional reinforcements. Thickness increases progressively toward the keel area. The keel box is an integral part of the hull layup and sandwich construction stiffening runs the entire length of the hull topsides. All main bulkheads are bonded into the hull at the main layup stage. The engine bearers are also an integral part of the hull structure.

Deck: Hand laid GRP sandwich construction using balsa core stiffening, with plywood in high stress areas where fittings are positioned. Heavily stressed areas are additionally reinforces with unidirectional lass reinforcements. The deck is bonded to the hull through the entire length and also to all the main bulkheads, resulting in a strong and integrated unit.

VARIABLE DRAFT KEEL

The fixed ballast is an iron casting which acts as a grounding plate and as transverse stiffening for the keel unit. It is fitted into a recess in the hull in the area of the keel box with stainless steel bolts. The aerofoil swing keel is cast iron and incorporates a stainless steel pivot at the leading edge. The swing keel is raised and lowered by a hydraulic ram powered by and electrically driven pump with a hand operated back-up. All hydraulics are easily accessible for maintenance. The keel control and gauge showing keel position are located at the cockpit wheel pedestal. A removeable stainless steel pin can be positioned to enable the keel to be locked in the 'up' position.
