This is an opportunity to purchase a fleet of 6 identically matched Swedish Match 40 yachts. A chance to set up a match race center or add to an existing fleet.

Hull Construction:

·         The hull is laminated by hand in a female mould.

·         White, high-temperature Reichhold NGA gelcoat is sprayed up in the moulds.

·         The hull is partially laminated in vinylester, partially in DCPD-Ortho polyester. 

·         A sandwich laminate made of 15mm PVC core is used on the topsides above the turn of the bilges.

·         Bi-axial and Triaxial E-Glass is used as reinforcement.

·         The direction of the axial reinforcement is dictated by the major loadpaths of the structure.

·         Hull laminate reinforcements are added at the centreline joint, in the keelbox area, at the rudder bearing and around the mastbase. Hull is topcoated in white in areas where crew is working.

·         The hull internals are hand laminated into the hull.

·         All hull internals are made of PVC foam cored multiaxial glassfiber reinforced polyester.

·         One pair of primary longitudinal stringers makes up a backbone from the stern to the forward ring frame.

·         Two secondary stringers stiffen the hull panels at the turn of the bilge.

·         Six ringframes and bulkheads are sparsely spaced through the hull.

·         A longitudinal mastbase girder extends from the front of the keelbox under the mast bulkhead to a transverse stiffener

Finish of Hull Centreline Joint & Keel:

·         Polished hull joint above the waterline.

·         Sanded hull joint below the waterline.

·         The keel is primed with epoxy paint.

Deck Construction:

·         The deck is laminated by hand in a female mould with integrated antislip surfaces.

·         White, high-temperature Reichhold NGA gelcoat is sprayed up in the moulds.

·         The deck is laminated in DCPD-Ortho polyester.

·         A sandwich laminate made of 15mm PVC core is used in all horizontal surfaces.

·         Biaxial and Triaxial E-Glass is used as reinforcement.

·         Chopped Strand Mat is used in around recesses for hatches.

·         The direction of the axial reinforcement is dictated by the major loadpaths of the structure.

·         All fittings are fixed in either single laminates or a sandwich with a high-density PVC core.

·         The deck is glued to the hull using polyester putty, and subsequently laminated on the inside along the sheerline.

·         The deck includes grooves and platforms for hatches and lids.

·         The deck has a recess for two self-bailers.

·         The steering pedestal is integrated with the deck laminate.

·         The deck internals are hand laminated into the hull.

·         All deck internals are made of PVC foam cored multiaxial glassfibre reinforced polyester.

·         One pair of primary longitudinal stringers makes up a backbone from stern to the first webframe.

·         Local single laminates are used where fittings are attached.

·         The main sheeting point is attached on top of a bulkhead.

·         Structural members are positioned in close proximity to the winches.

Keel & Rudder:

·         The keel box is hand laminated with glassfibre reinforced polyester. 

·         The assembly is then hand laminated into the hull and deck.

·         The bottom edge of the keelbox is wedge-shaped.

·         Two transverse bulkheads are hand laminated either side of the keelbox extending to the primary stringers.

·         Composite keel with a cast iron keel fin attached by bolts to a lead bulb.

·         The fin and bulb is painted with a base primer.

·         The assembly is then epoxy filled and faired.

·         The keel fin-bulb joint is joined with filler and molten lead.

·         The keel fin is housed in the keel box, which is integrated with the deck.

·         In the raised position the hull rests close to the bulb in the cradle, hence the whole yacht and cradle fits into a 40´ container. In the lowered position, a wedge shape in the keel ensures zero play.

·         In the event of running aground the energy is absorbed by a polyurethane impact moulding aft in the keel box.

·         Hand laminated rudder blade using Biaxial and Unidirectional E-Glass reinforcement in a polyester resin.

·         Double tapered aluminium rudderstock with three wings welded to the stock.

·         The wings of the stock are laminated to one half of the rudder before assembly.

·         The blade halves are laminated and glued together.

·         Keels modified to be easily fixed down.

Propulsion & Steering:

·         Lewmar draglink steering system.

·         The steering wheel is attached to the bevel head gear, which in turn rotate a torque tube attached to a reduction gearbox. The reduction gearbox actuates the draglink which connect to a cast aluminium tiller arm.

·         The steering pedestal is integrated into the deck moulding.

·         The aluminium alloy rudder stock is mounted in self-adjusting needle bearings in the hull and a needle bearing in the deck. 

·         5-spoke wheel with cover.

Bilge Pumps:

·         The yacht has double manual membrane 1 ½” (38mm) bilge pumps fitted in the sides of the cockpit.
