Technical description
The hull and interior are made of vacuum bagged sandwich panels with vinylester or epoxy resin and Corecell foam in temporal mould, which guarantee the high quality of surfaces, stiffness of the parts and high protection from osmosis.
The hull has longitude reinforcements with hand laid laminate for additional stiffness.
Inner parts and furniture are made of sandwich panels for light and low maintenance construction. The interior can be practical and minimalist with painted surfaces or more luxury with wood veneered panels.
The bulb keel is lifted with electric winch with manual back-up, the keel is fixed in low and upper position with strong pins to prevent any damages in case of grounding or collision with floating objects.
All sheets and halyards are led to cocpit for easy handling with small crew, no need to go on deck. Watertight bulkheads and compartments create the big average flotation volume.
The basic systems are very simple and concentrated in one compartment for easy access and safety.
The main idea in the concept – fast cruising, simplicity and reliability.
