Hull, Deck and Equipment

Hull: Hand laid up heavy-duty GRP molding with multi-axial and unidirectional reinforcements for strength and impact resistance. The hull is cored above the water line for insulation and weight reduction, made of solid glass below. Thickness increases toward the keel area. The keel box is integral to the hull layup, with a substantial skeg fitted on the centerline to protect the propeller and rudders when the yacht is dried out.

Swing Keel: The fixed ballast is an iron casting that acts as a grounding plate and transverse stiffening for the keel unit, fitted into a recess in the hull with stainless steel bolts. The aerofoil Swing Keel is cast iron with a stainless steel pivot at the leading edge. It is raised and lowered by a hydraulic ram powered by an electrically driven pump with a hand-operated backup. All hydraulics are easily accessible for maintenance.

Deck: Teak decks with raised teak-capped bulwarks for comfort and safety. The forward area includes a stainless steel stem head fitting for the bow roller, removable bow sprit, and an electric windlass. Deck salon windows are partially reflective tinted glass for privacy and sun deflection.
