• 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, which 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 and the forward bulkheads are 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 and the forward bulkheads are 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.
• The cockpit seats are covered with laid teak 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.
• Stainless steel grab rails placed on the sides of the coach roof.

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.
• In order to guarantee better control at each angle of heel the twin rudders and dual steering pedestals are standard.
• Stainless steel shaft.
