Construction

The hull is molded from female production tooling. The laminate as with all Gozzard Yachts is a “sandwich” cored construction. The Lloyds-approved end grain Baltek Balsa core increases panel stiffness, strength, impact resistance, and sound/thermal insulation while maintaining an excellent weight to strength ratio.

All penetrations are solid FRP. Most of the weight saved by designing the cored laminate is then re-applied in extra skin thickness on either side of the core, making the laminate schedule, robust in the Gozzard tradition.

Marine-grade Vinyl-ester laminating resins are used in the hull laminate below the waterline. The hull laminate is constructed of knitted double-bias E-glass RM (0-90) and XM (45-45) cloth.

Additional reinforcing is utilized in the bow, trail-board, chain plate, mast step, and transom areas. The core material measures ¾” in thickness. It has a density of 6 pounds per cubic foot. The core is installed using both vacuum bagging and hand-laid techniques. The core runs from the cove stripe to approximately 10” from the centerline. The coring material is eliminated and replaced with a solid glass laminate in the areas of the sheer line, centerline, keel, rudderpost, and thru-hulls. The deck is finished with Cook “Buffback” Off-white gelcoat and is a molded FRP sandwich construction with ½”, ¾” and 1” Baltek Balsa core. In areas where equipment is to be installed, the coring material is eliminated creating a solid laminate. The outer and inner skins are built up to a thickness of approximately 1/4”. The deck flange is solid and built up to ½” in thickness. Extra reinforcing is added to the cleat, mast step, and winch attachment areas as well as high-stress areas and corners.

The hull deck joint is bedded in 3M 5200 and bolted on 6” centers with 5/16” Stainless Steel machine screws with locking (aircraft) nuts.

All main or structural bulkheads are glassed to the hull and later the deck before the interior trim work is installed. While some manufacturers install a grid-like structure with the cabin sole screwed down onto the tops, Gozzard Yachts prefers to use a closed grid structure by combining the floor and the stringer surfaces into assemblies. This not only makes the floor nice and solid underfoot it also compartmentalizes the areas you can not easily access normally. The center section is accessed with removable bilge panels to provide access to tanks and pumps.
