Construction:
Overall Measured Length: 41’9” including 1’4” pulpit
RCD Status: It is our understanding that the yacht is compliant with the essential safety requirements of Directive
94/25EC (Recreational Craft Directive) and is categorised A – “Ocean”.
Hull, Deck & Superstructure Construction:
Hull as well as deck are in hand laid E-glass reinforced on special high stress areas with Triaxial fibre glass in
connection with a sandwich laminate using hard compressed Divinycell 20 mm as core material. Solid
laminated around the keel reinforcement girder system, the engine install, the propeller, the rudder bearings
as well as in connection with all through hull fittings.
Hull surface outside is made of white gelcoat with 3 blue waterlines & sheer line moulded into the freeboard.
Deck reinforced around and under all deck hard ware fittings with marine plywood instead of the hard
compressed Divinycell foam in a thickness of 15 - 20 mm.
Hull epoxy treated from new.
Surface of deck outside is white gelcoat with teak in the cockpit floor and cockpit coamings. Area around
cabin windows is blue.
Teak cockpit seating, cockpit sole and bathing platform
Hull and deck are glued together with a special polyester resin and are bolted together for each 100 mm with
a 8 mm s/s screw with washer and nut. The toerail is black anodised aluminium.
The floor construction is a heavy welded bottom frame with keel floors, mast floors, lifting strap securing lugs
made of TBS steel sections, longitudinally connected with same material. The floor construction is heat
galvanised and glassed into solid laminate.
Main structural bulkheads are of marine plywood - 24 12 mm securely bonded to the hull and deck.
Keel & Rudder:
The keel is of antimony hardened lead with a cast iron top, therefore benefiting from a very low centre of
weight. The keel is fixed with s/s bolts. The surface of the keel is protected with one layer of GRP and filler.
Hull-keel joint refaired – September 2012
The rudder blade is laminated in Triaxial fibre glass. The rudder stock is of solid aluminium tapered at both
ends for strength and weight saving. The upper rudder bearing is roller bearing for minimum resistance.
Rudder tube gasket replaced - September 2012
