The hull is of single-skinned GRP construction. Local areas of reinforcement (keel, rudder, chainplate, hull / deck joint) serve to strengthen the structure. A single-skinned structural inner moulding is bonded and laminated to the hull. Its structural role is important as it takes and absorbs the stresses at pressure points (chainplate tie rods, keel, rudder, etc.) ensuring their distribution and so guaranteeing reduced strain on the hull. The surface of the inner moulding makes cleaning easier and provides a better finish.

The standard hull colour is white with silver livery; a Steel Blue colour hull is available as an option.

DECK

The deck is of glass fibre and balsa sandwich construction for optimum strength / weight ratio as well as excellent heat and sound insulation. All working areas and areas of movement around the deck are provided with a non-slip “diamond point” finish.

HULL / DECK JOINT

The hull / deck joint is screwed and bonded and surrounded by a teak bulwark. This mechanical join ensures a watertight assembly whilst also improving safety when moving around on deck.

KEEL

The keel is fitted to the boat by a system of screws and stainless steel backing plates and by bonding.

The keel is cast-iron.

To increase its life, the keel is given an anti-corrosion treatment and improved finish in the factory before assembly, using epoxy-based coatings and paint.
