About this CONSORTIUM OF BOATYARDS Volvo Ocean 65

English

A Consortium of Boatyards

  • Green Marine Ltd. – Lead manufacturer. Hull – deck, painting and hull fit out.
  • Decision S.A. – Manufacturer of internal structure and bulkheads.
  • Multiplast – Manufacturer of deck.
  • Persico S.P.A. – Manufacturer of hull and assembling of internal structure from Persico.

Construction

Hull, Deck & Superstructure Construction:

  • The hull, internal structure and deck are constructed of carbon sandwich.
  • In the forward slamming area Corecell is used, and the rest of the yacht is kevlar honeycomb.
  • Sprint resin infusion holds the structure together with maximum strength and minimum weight.

 

Keel & Rudder:

  • Canting keel to +/- 40 degrees with 5 degrees of incline axis.
  • Twin forward daggerboards, inboard triangulation.
  • Twin fixed rudders – composite stocks.
  • Twin 800 litre ballast tanks under cockpit sides at transom.
  • Single centerline 1,100 litre ballast tank forward of mast.
  • Keel and bulb manufactured by Iron Brothers.
  • Canting mechanism and bearings from Cariboni.

Machinery

Engine & Gearboxes:

  • 1 x Volvo Penta D2-75 with S-drive.
  • Replaced throttle control.
  • Upgraded ventilation in engine space.

 

Maintenance & Performance:

  • Full Volvo Penta Service on both main engine and Saildrive.

Electrical Systems

Voltage Systems:

  • As a part of the weight-saving design concept the Volvo 65 employ 24-volt DC electrical systems.
  • This allows weight saving my minimizing wiring size compared to a more common 12-volt DC system.

 

Battery Banks:

  • 2 x Mastervolt Lithium batteries saving around 70% of the weight of traditional batteries with the additional benefit of being very robust.
  • Mastervolt lithium-ion batteries saves as much as 70% in weight over more traditional battery technology.

 

Alternators:

  • Two heavy-duty Mastervolt alternators with 150-amp output.
  • The alternators are driven by the main engine, as comparatively low-current-draw equipment, high alternator output, and a very high recharge acceptance rate for the lithium-ion batteries, engine run time is minimized.
  • It takes around one hour a day to bring all systems up to full charge, minimizing diesel fuel usage, meaning less fuel – therefore less weight needs to be carried onboard.

 

Generator:

  • Main engine acts as generator. Full charge in around 1 hour per day.

Plumbing Systems

Watermaker:

  • SPECTRA watermaker – Cape Horn Xtreme model. Can be run on one pump for efficiency or two for speed. 15G / hour.

 

Bilge Pumps:

  • Plastimo on deck bilge pump.
  • Fitted bilge pump in hull.
  • Emergency bilge pump.

Deck Equipment

Rig:

  • 99.4’ / 30.30m rig height.
  • 7’ / 2.14m bowsprit length.
  • The deck-stepped mast has a tube length of 28.4m (98’) and is built from High Modulus Carbon Fibre.
  • It was designed in-house by Southern Spars using the DesMan and RigCalc software packages, integrated with the North Sails design software.
  • Structurally, there are 202 pieces of Carbon Fibre pre-preg in each mast tube, with an additional 52 patches of structural reinforcement.
  • The Volvo Ocean 65 sports a 7.68m racing box boom again built from high modulus carbon and weighing 68kgs.
  • Its deep section provides maximum stiffness to weight efficiency and provides extra downwind sail area.
  • With internal locks at the outboard end of the boom, reefing is made efficient for the crew to manage in strong winds.
  • The rigging consists of nine separate stays and is constructed from intermediate modulus carbon fibre, with main stays that have a 26-ton minimum break load.
  • The ECsix carbon rigging is four times lighter than comparative nitronic steel rigging.
  • It has a multistrand construction based on a bundle of small rods for safety, durability, longevity and flexibility in the toughest conditions.
  • Twin topmast backstays and checkstays with deflectors.
  • Spare Mast.
