CONSTRUCTION

HULL

Heavy duty GRP moulding, hand laid up to Northshore’s laminating system, incorporating multi axial and unidirectional reinforcements. Thickness increased progressively towards the keel area. The keel box is an integral part of the hull lay-up and sandwich construction stiffening runs the entire length of the hull topsides. All main bulkheads are glassed into the hull at the main layup stage. The engine bearers are also an integral part of the hull structure.

​

• Hull Colour: Pure White 337 Gelcoat

• Below waterline: Clear Gelcoat

• Style lines: Graphite

• Boot-top lines: Graphite

​

DECK

Hand laid up GRP. Sandwich type construction with balsa core stiffening with plywood in high stress areas where fittings are positioned. Heavily stressed areas are additionally reinforced with unidirectional glass reinforcement. The deck is bonded to the hull through the entire length and to all main bulkheads resulting in a strong and integrated unit. Moulded in non-slip surface on ring deck.

​

• Teak capping rail to hull to deck joint upstand

• Teak laid ring deck, aft coachroof and forward coachroof.

• Gel Colour: Pure White 337 Gelcoat

​

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 by means of 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 an electrically driven pump with a hand operated back-up. All the hydraulics are easily accessible for maintenance. The keel control and gauge showing keel position is fitted at the wheel pedestal. A removeable stainless steel pin can be positioned to enable the keel to be locked in the ‘up’ position.
