HULL CONSTRUCTION

Heavy duty GRP Moulding, hand laid to Northshore Nordseal laminating system incorporating multi-axial and unidirectional reinforcements. Thickness increases 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 bonded into the hull at the main layup stage along with a stiffening grillage of transverse frames and longitudinal stringers. The engine bearers are also on integral part of the hull structure. Teak rubbing strakes with stainless steel strips fitted port and starboard

DECK CONSTRUCTION

Hand laid GRP. Sandwich type construction using balsa core stiffening , with marine 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 an integrated unit. Teak cappings are used to cover the hull to deck joint upstand

• Gelcoat colour: Off white 3969

​

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 an electrically driven pump with a manual back up. All hydraulics are easily accessible for maintenance. A keel control panel and gauge showing keel position is fitted at the wheel pedestal. A removeable stainless steel pin positioned to enable the keel to be locked in the “UP” position. A new Dyneema keel pennant was fitted September 2020
