CONSTRUCTION

Keel: lead

KEEL: keel is not removable, keel is welded to the hull from factory.

HULL: fiberglass The hull has been insulated with 70 mm fire-retardant expanded polystyrene. The interior is primarily made of marine plywood, which is lighter than usual, and features a 2mm fire-resistant layer beneath the deck. Each panel isn't simply plywood, but a sandwich with polystyrene between the panels (since we had a -31°C winter here in Riga and were able to work thanks to the 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 very good according to Instruction International. 

• Axle: both bearings are new. 
• The deck was painted last year (another big project). 
• The deck is painted with International non-slip paint and a double coat of epoxy primer. 
• The keel is welded to the hull and is an integral part of the boat; it is not removable or riveted. The factory-welded keel is a spare 450-liter fuel tank. The ballast weighs approximately 7.5 tons (according to the previous owner's calculations). 
• Thicknes and state of the aluminum 
• From 6.5mm till 11.3 
• The bottom of the boat is from factory 12mm,lowest what I found closer to keel was 11.3 
• Freeboards 6.5 
• Deck 5mm
