Construction

The single-skinned hull is of GRP construction. The structure is reinforced at various points (keel, rudder, chain plates, deck line, etc.). A structural single-skinned inner molding is bonded and laminated to the hull. Its structural role is important as it takes and absorbs the stresses at pressure points (chain plate tie rods, keel, rudder, etc.) and spreads any loads, guaranteeing reduced strain on the hull. The surface of the inner molding makes cleaning easier and provides a better finish. 

The deck is sandwich (fiberglass/balsa) constructed for an optimal strength/weight ratio and excellent thermal and sound insulation. A ‘diamond point’ non-slip surface increases safety over all areas of movement on the deck. 

The hull/deck joint is secured by way of a bonded and screwed teak bulwark. This mechanical assembly ensures the hull/deck joint is watertight and provides extra safety while moving about. 

The keel is cast iron. It is attached to the boat by a system of screws and stainless steel backing plate and bonding. To improve the durability, the keel is given anti-corrosion treatment and improved finish in the factory before assembly, using epoxy-based coatings and paint.

Single rudder with glass composite stock.
