Construction
The hull and superstructure are heavy duty GRP mouldings, hand laid up to Northshore’s Nordseal laminate system with copper gel coat underwater. In the hull woven roving and chopped strand mats are used in combination, with thickness increasing progressively towards the keel area. There is a balsa core in the topsides which stops just above the waterline. The deck is of sandwich type construction using balsa core stiffening, with plywood in high stress areas where fittings are positioned. Bulkheads are glassed in and the entire deck is bonded to the hull, resulting in a strong and integrated unit. A teak rubbing strake is fitted externally. The interior joinery is of teak faced plywood with solid teak trims built onto GRP base modules which are glassed into the hull.
The coach roof, deck and top sides are finished in standard off white gelcoat with blue moulded in boot top lines. The bilges and lockers are painted throughout. Style lines in vinyl are applied to the topside.
Swing Keel
The cast iron grounding plate and keel unit is bolted into a recess in the hull using stainless steel bolts; it acts as transverse stiffening in way of the keel slot and protects the hull when taking the ground. The aerofoil swing keel is cast iron with a stainless-steel pivot fitting into a substantial boss at the forward end of the grounding plate. The keel was removed and fully refurbished by the original casting foundry in 2017. The swing keel is raised by an electrically operated hydraulic ram with manual backup, which is attached to the swing keel by a pulley system. New keel pennants were fitted in 2021. It can be operated from either the cockpit or from the chart area.
