Hull

The hull is built in a sandwich construction of multiaxial glass fibre reinforced ISO polyester. The hull is extra shielded with Twaron (with guarantee certificate). The surface layer is of NGA gelcoat for maximum protection against water penetration. A core of balsa for strength and insulation. At the stern there is an integral swimming platform with a bathing and safety ladder. The bilge is reinforced with a longitudinal and transverse floor plate construction. This supports keel fittings, mast, engineframe, tank and cabin soles. Additional reinforcements longitudinal in the hull as stringers. All main bulkheads are laminated and bolted on both sides to the hull. Transverse chain plate fittings laminated to the hull. The rubbing strake colour is white with carmine red trim line and water lines laid in the gelcoat. Below the waterline the hull is treated with epoxy primer and antifouling paint. The hull is topcoated internally. Extra watertight bulkhead between cargo hold and forward cabins. Stainless steel through hull exhaust fittings for engine and generator. Earthplate 3 sqm equivalent stern portside.

 

Keel

The entire keel is built by NACA profiles. The lead keel is bolted on with 14 x 20 mm acid resistant stainless steel bolts. A small wing at the bottom of the keel reduces the water flow beneath the keel, which results in less drag.

 

Rudder and Steering

Rudder and skeg in NACA profile. Semi-balanced rudder in glass fibre reinforced polyester with 60 nm acid resistant stainless steel rudder post. Rudder fitting in stainless steel, bolted to the skeg. Steering pedestral (by solimar) in glass fibre reinforced polyester with leather covered stainless steel wheel of diameter 1200 mm. Compass and top-fitted single lever control for the engine and engine board. Friction brake on the wheel. Stainless steel chain and wire cable to a large quadrant. Rudder post scaled with greased stuffing box. Emergency steering on rudder post by tiller.

Each tank has its own electric fuel pump. Holding tank in acid resistant stainless steel installed in engine room. Manual pump in the toilet compartment for drainage via through hull fitting. Connected to deck fitting for evacuation ashore. All hoses to the tank are gas tight.

 

Volume of tanks

Fuel capacity:                         1.190   liter in 4 stainless steel tanks
