Seawolf is Ker's most advanced hull and the design was incorporated into his Ker 40+ boats that compete in the UK's Fast Forties fleet. The boat is glass and foam infused epoxy. It was intentionally built without carbon (except on limited basis in some panels) to avoid severe rating penalties that could not be overcome with this length of boat competing against older, non carbon boats. The cabin was carefully designed for access and headroom at no cost to performance. A watertight aft compartment (accessible from deck) was installed for safety.
This has to be one of the highest spec'd boats on the market and includes many of the advanced systems found only on high end grand prix racing boats (typically TP52s), including
UnReels, pro trim, string drops with Harkin wheel, hydraulic forestay with gorilla fabric forestay and 5T headstay load. Lines are under-deck and carefully designed to ensure a dry boat in even roughest conditions. No detail was overlooked or expense spared in design, construction and equipment.
