Construction and Deck Equipment

This yacht is constructed using advanced materials and modern building techniques that deliver exceptional strength while maintaining a lighter overall displacement than traditionally built vessels. The incorporation of Kevlar, modified epoxy resins, and high-density core materials results in a hull that is stronger than many heavier counterparts, yet significantly more efficient.Throughout the yacht, honeycomb and structural foam cores are utilized in counters, cabinetry, and soles, contributing to both durability and weight reduction without compromising structural integrity or finish quality.While performance is impressive, the benefits extend well beyond speed. The reduced weight enhances fuel efficiency and range, allowing for extended cruising with lower operating costs, an advantage that is especially valuable for long-distance passagemaking and time spent offshore.Twin Maxwell Vertical Windlass's Model 4000Besenzoni Passerrelle in Transom Steps Model:PL380 PremiumMolded FRP flush window framesProprietary High Pressure lamination System, vacuum baggedEngineered sandwich construction throughoutLaminated and tempered window glassDupont Kevlar lamination fabricsBow Thruster remote controlStern Thruster remote controlNon-skid FRP decks, main & flybridgeScreens on all opening windows, hatches and portsSandwich bulkhead, floors, stringers constructionDeck Lights 24VBurmese Teak weather decksRed night lights on flying bridgeHeavy duty concealed swim ladderHeavy duty low profile 316L SS Hatches (6)Velocijet Strut KeelsSliding hatch and door to bridge from pilothouseOwner aboard logo lightingBulwark doors and gates P&SHeavy duty 316L solid stainless rub railS/S ladder with teak steps, cockpit to bridgePortuguese Bridge deck storage lockersCockpit deck lockers, FRPCockpit controls, sink and fire systemMolded FB seating with dry storage underEngine room access from cockpitTeak CoamingOval Stainless Steel HandrailsSliding doors, P&S pilothouse, aft salon with lockFTG Water Filtration System Model WFA 12FRP bow pulpit with S/S anchor rollerTransom doorFRP swim platform with teak inlay
