RCD Status: The yacht conforms with the essential safety requirements of Directive 94/25EC or RCDII (2013/53/EU as appropriate (Recreational Craft Directive) and is categorised A – “Ocean” (or Cat B – whichever is appropriate)   The materials used and construction methods are designed to construct a light, yet strong and stable hull, without affecting the strength and stiffness. Hull and deck, as well as all other parts of the yacht, are designed to take high loads, providing maximum product durability. Hull and deck are constructed in a negative mould. All visible hull and deck surfaces are varnished with white gelcoat. Italian Shipping Registry RINA controls materials and construction. RINA is also approving the yachts construction before issuing the CE certificate.   Hull, Deck & Superstructure Construction: Hull and deck in sandwich construction (type PVC Airex Core) in E-fiberglass. This kind of structure gives a light hull that is, however, far more resistant to dynamic stress and is far more rigid than a plain resin-bonded laminate construction. Airex type core, an expanded closed-cell vinyl polychloride. Vacuum system for the sandwich gluing. Where needed reinforcements are done in unidirectional and bidirectional lamination and stratification core substituted by plywood or more density inserts. The strength of resin-bonded laminates conform to the designer's specifications and are regularly controlled by their competent technical departments. The transversal (floor) and longitudinal reinforcements of the hull are made in E glass and carbon fibres and then resin-bonded to the hull. The main bulkhead is made in Airex composite. The stern cannot be opened. Stainless steel bathing ladder at the stern. The deck area around the mast and the chain plates will be reinforced. Where needed, the sandwich core will be made in marine plywood instead of Airex core. The main and bow chain plates are realized in stainless steel and bolted to reinforced composite structures on the hull. The aft chain plates are in composite. The main bulkhead is made of composite material, type Airex. All the other bulkheads are made in oak plywood, well resin-bonded to the hull and the deck. The tidy bilge is easily accessible. In order to guarantee better control at each angle of heel the twin rudders and dual steering pedestals are standard. The cockpit seats are covered with laid teak type rubber vacuum bonded onto the deck with epoxy resins. Forward deck surfaces, cockpit floor and side decks are painted with antiskid paint. Optionally they can be fitted with teak type rubber or teak.   Keel & Rudder: The bulb keel is designed and built for high speeds with internal empty pockets and guarantees performance and stability. The keel ballast is made of lead/antimony. The keel fin is made in cast iron and is attached to the hull through stainless steel bolts. There is a recess in the hull for the stainless steel backing plate for the keel. The keel is treated and protected by epoxy products. Stainless steel shaft.
