CONSTRUCTION

Keel: lead

KEEL: the keel is non-removable, welded to the hull from factory.

HULL: fiberglass. The hull has been insulated with 70mm fire-retardant expanded polystyrene. The interior is mainly marine plywood, lighter than usual, with a 2mm fire-resistant layer beneath the deck. Each panel is a sandwich with polystyrene between the panels (due to a -31°C winter in Riga, enabling work thanks to insulation). As a result, the boat is very warm in winter and not too hot in summer (over 30°C). The hull is painted with polyurethane paint. Underwater, it has a special zinc primer with antifouling agent (Trilux 33); this combination is highly recommended according to International standards.

• Axle: both bearings are new.
• The deck was painted last year (another major project).
• The deck is painted with International non-slip paint and a double layer of epoxy primer.
• The keel is welded to the hull as an integral part of the boat; it is not removable or riveted. The factory-welded keel doubles as a 450-liter fuel tank. The ballast weighs approximately 7.5 tons (according to previous owner’s calculations).
• Thickness and condition of the aluminum
• From 6.5mm to 11.3mm
• Hull bottom: factory 12mm, closest to keel: 11.3mm
• Freeboards: 6.5mm
• Deck: 5mm

OWNER'S NOTES ABOUT THE HULL:

The boat has been ashore for the last 20 years without electricity or water, so the hull remains in like-new condition, with no signs of corrosion. Inspection welcome anytime.

Deck: 4.5mm

Freeboards: 6mm

Below waterline: 11.7mm

Keel plate: unknown but very solid

Main stringers: 30mm SOLID

Secondary stringers: 8mm

Crossed stringers: 6mm

Insulation: When the boat was put back ashore in Riga for refit, the hull was insulated with 100mm flame-retardant expanded polystyrene (Dow Styrofoam XPS), as it was understood from the start that the boat needed to be safe. Certified.
