Voilier aluminium

Aluminium hull

Aluminium structure with frames and stringers. 3 watertight bulkheads. Hull bustle. Aluminium deep centerboard and rudders NACA profiles. Deck & coachroof in premium alloy (Sealium or Alustar).

Aluminium scantlings for ice (summer navigation without over-wintering). Frames and longitudinal stringers structure with reinforcements at the bow, sheer-line and keelson on both sides of the centerboard trunk. Centerboard case, compression posts, integrated tanks, 3 watertight bulkheads and doors. Deck and coachroof in Sealium. Hull bustle Naca profile with thick grounding sole and propeller protective skeg (plus removable cage). Heavy insulation and ventilation for navigations in cold high latitudes or hot tropical zones.

Hull bustle/skeg

Grounding sole aluminium 16 mm, sides 12 mm (fillet 8mm), propeller skeg 5mm

Centerboard and rudders

Welded aluminium structure : envelope : 8mm/5mm (centerboard/rudders), structure & stringers : 8/10mm (centerboard), 5mm (rudders)

Integrated tanks

Plates 5mm + reinforcements and baffles
Aluminium tanks (e.g. fuel) integrated into the hull structure offer additional safety i.e. "double-shell"
