From this position down the hull is a single laminate with clear gelcoat which is antifouled. The cored topside prides both panel stiffness and thermal insulation. The hull is supported by a GRP base module, the module incorporates transverse floors and longitudinals and the bulkheads are glassed to hull and deck. There is a drainpipe from the chain locker to the deep bilge. The engine seating has a gel coated surface and forms an integral drip tray. The ballast is cast lead of 8,198 lbs which is fully encapsulated in the hull moulding and over laminated. The deck is ½” balsa cored laminate with unpolished gel, fitted with teak laid decking. The coachroof top is ¾” balsa cored laminate with moulded non-skin surface and is integral with the cockpit and deck. Solid ply reinforcements are fitted in lieu of the balsa for strength where fixings pass through the laminate to prevent the core crushing in compression. The deck is reinforced forward to support an anchor windlass. The deck is bonded to a shelf which is an integral part of he hull, the joint is overlaid with GRP.
