Accomodations There are upper and lower pipe berths on both port and starboard aft of the companion way with a storage box with great accessibility on centerline. On the starboard side is the navigation and chart table with the seat facing forward. There is storage under the seat, a fold up desk top for storage and three deep drawers located under the table. On port side is the oven and icebox and the galley sink located under the companionway stairs. Forward of the nav station and galley is another set of upper and lower berths on both port and starboard. The upper berths can be folded down to make settees on both sides. There is a fold up/down dining table and storage for the table on the forward bulkhead wall. Moving forward on port side is the head and to starboard of the head entrance is a seat (with storage beneath) and a line storage locker. Forward is a full sized v-berth with cushions which can be removed for ample racing sail storage. Cabin portlights throughout boat were replaced in 2017 all hatches were replaced in 2019 and the cabin sole floorboards throughout cabin were stripped and fully refinished/re-varnished (Spring 2019).
Hull Construction The Hull is to consist of unidirectional and biaxial ‘S-Glass’ skins over cores of H-80 ‘Divinycell’ PVC foam and AL-600 ‘Baltek’ balsa above the waterline and H-80 and ‘Airex’ PVC below. There are high concentrations of unidirectional ‘S-Glass’ (in lieu of carbon fiber, currently outlawed for IMS) along the hull backbone and bilge stringers. An integrated gridwork of deep keel floors, partial bulkheads, longitudinals and ring frames supports the
rig and keel loads, controls headstay tension, and prevents shell distortion.
The Deck is a similar laminate of ‘S-Glass’ skins over the same Divinycell foam and Balsa cores used in the Hull, with high density foam core and additional laminate in way of all deck hardware. Unidirectional ‘S-Glass’ reinforcements are carefully oriented to resist the heavy compression loads imposed on the deck by the headstay, backstay and mast. Methodical weight control is a high priority, and all moldings and components are carefully
weighed before assembly.
This design is a development of the TAYLOR 42, which won her IMS Class at Block Island for three years in a row.
