Construction

The yacht's construction is a testament to advanced engineering and meticulous craftsmanship, featuring an infused carbon/epoxy hull and deck structure. This composite sandwich construction is post-cured in an oven to ensure maximum strength, while the thermo-formed foam core enhances strength and reduces weight. Built in female molds, the yacht achieves minimal construction weight, with additional carbon fiber reinforcing in highly loaded areas. Carbon fiber longitudinal stringers and ring frames provide further structural integrity. The design includes a sacrificial 'false' bow and forefoot to mitigate impact damage, along with watertight bulkheads that seal off the bow and stern compartments. Additional watertight compartments in each hull, along with structural composite hull floors, save weight and add stiffness. Carbon fiber chain plates complete this robust construction.

The appendages of the yacht are equally impressive, featuring symmetric curved "C" daggerboards that are 6 meters long, constructed with prepreg carbon epoxy spars, carbon shear webs, and carbon fiber skins. The curved daggerboard cases are crafted with vacuum-bagged, carbon fiber, epoxy, and foam sandwich construction. Self-aligning high modulus plastic top and bottom bearings, along with Antal 1200 Watt electric line drivers, facilitate the raising and lowering of the daggerboards. Daggerboard proximity sensors were added in 2020 for enhanced safety. The yacht is equipped with high aspect spade rudders, carbon stocks, and carbon construction in self-aligning watertight bearings, along with two additional shallow draft carbon rudders for cruising.

The finishes of the yacht are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Awlgrip and Alexseal paints are used for both exterior and interior surfaces, with hard semi-ablative antifoul on hull bottoms.
