Construction

Isophtalic NG gelcoats used to ensure bright and lasting nish.  Polyester resins used throughout.  Each batch of resin and gelcoat receives laboratory testing before use.  Finite element analysis was performed in high-load areas during the engineering process.  All aspects of design and construction are certied by the Bureau Veritas.

 
HULL
Monolithic GRP hull hand-laid into a 2-part opening mould.  Barrier coat used to guard against osmosis.

HULL STRUCTURE
3rd Generation counter-moulded structure glued and laminated to hull for strength.  High-load zones cut-out for access to the hull.  Subooring in saloon area framed with aluminium.

8 HULL PORTS in acrylic, bonded from exterior

BULKHEADS are bonded to both the hull and deck using special high-performance polyurethane adhesives

COVE STRIPE indentation moulded into hull along with arrow at bow

BILGE AREAS nished with a gelcoat paint

INJECTED DECK using a 2-part mould via Prisma Process®.  Coring and laminate materials are laid up dry before the mould is closed.  Once closed, resin is injected into the void.  This process yields a very high-end part that is nished on both sides and reduces the weight by 30% with minimum impact on the environment.
