HULL
A hand laminated fibreglass construction with layers of mat and woven
rowing. The longitudinal stringers, the engine bed and the transverse floor
bearers stiffen the hull. All main bulkheads and other structural panels are
bonded to the hull where appropriate. The engine bed has captive steel
plates for the securing of engine mounts. The hull colour is white with a
double blue waterline and a single blue cove line, see the drawing. The
keel consists of a fibreglass section, forming a part of the hull, and of an
external lead ballast. This is fixed by stainless steel bolts with double nuts
and stainless steel internal backing plates.
DECK AND SUPERSTRUCTURE
The deck and the superstructure are an one-piece moulding, constructed
entirely of hand laminated fibreglass with a white gelcoat surface. Rigidity
is achieved with deck beams formed by the use of polyurethane foam. All
surfaces including the pilothouse roof have an anti-slip finish. The anchorbox
on foredeck has top access hatches. Six heavy duty cleats with
adjacent chocks are employed for safe mooring of the vessel, 2 forward, 2
aft and 2 midships. All windows are made of toughened safetyglass fitted
in alloy frames. The guard rail is made of solid teak which is mounted on
stainless steel stanchions. Boarding gates aft and starboard. An intermediate
life line is also run between the toe- and guard-rail. The negative
transom has an electrically operated hatch/ bathing platform as option.
ENGINE
The engine is a Perkins M135 diesel engine developing 130 hp at 2600
rpm and swings the LH 23” × 18” bronze propeller through a Hurth HSW
450 gearbox. The propeller shaft is made of 40 mm acid proof steel with
bronze bracket. A large skeg mounted fibreglass rudder, with stainless
steel webs and stock ensures good manoeuvrability and steerage. Approximately
1570 litres of fuel is carried in 2 tanks. Each tank has a deck
level filler, with vent pipes and a separate handpump for taking out the
dirt. A single lever Kobelt control is provided at both steering stations. An
audible alarm indicating low oilpressure and high engine temperature is
fitted in the pilothouse and the cockpit. The engine is installed in a spacious,
sound-insulated and separate engine room with access through a
door in the aft guest cabin. It is also possible to reach the engine room
through the pilothouse floor, via hatches. A selection valve in the engine
room for selecting either fuel tank. The valve determines both flows of
fuel, suction and return. An engine room blower is fitted for ventilation of
the engine room. Space reserved for an optional generator.
PLUMBING
All underwater through hull fittings have bronze seacocks. The freshwater
capacity of 1600 litres is divided in three stainless steel tanks. All tanks
are filled from the deck. A pressurised water system supplies toilets,
galley and shower facilities. Tubing in PVC and rubber. Stainless steel
double sink in galley, wash basins in toilets. Wall shower as standard in
each toilet. One manual and one automatic electric bilge pump with manual
override. Holding tank 245 l (65 gal. UK) and a pump out fitting on
deck.
STEERING
The steering system is hydraulic with dual station controls; one in the
pilothouse and one in the cockpit. The cockpit is enclosed with a binnacle
column and the steering pump has no check valves to enable a direct
feedback of the rudder pressure. Both controls are self-contained and
connected in parallel. Acid proof rudder stock with bronze bearings. Rudder
of GRP. Emergency steering with a tiller connectable directly to the
rudder stock.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
A 24 V system with 2 × 105 Ah for start and 4 × 235 Ah for consumption.
A combined master switch for the starter and consumption batteries. The
charging is done by a 24 V/45 A alternator and a parallel coupling relay.
The master switch panel has circuit breakers and these serve all circuits
throughout the boat and cut out in the case of a short-circuit or overload.
Working and decorating lights are positioned throughout the boat where
appropriate. Indirect lighting in the galley and the saloon. Lights in all
hanging lockers. An engine room light is also fitted. Instruments for oilpressure,
engine temperature, revolutions, fueltanks, voltage and amperage.
Running lights according to international regulations. Navigation
lights are mounted on the pulpit, the steaming light on the foreside of the
mast and the stern light on the pushpit. An anchorlight on the top of the
mast. A decklight on the mast.
SPARS AND RIGGING
The main mast is keel stepped, with double spreaders and intermediates.
All halyards are internal. The boom is equipped with a Rodkick boomvang
with gas cylinder. The mast foot is made of metal and connected to the
keel to give lightning protection. Winches provided:
