Custom Wise 60

Details
A true performance Cat. Fast no frills cruiser. After sailing from Greece in the last 18 months, Southern Wing has circumnavigated the world. Unfortunately due to ill health we sadly have to sell a most wonderful boat. Ready to sail anywhere with only 15,000 miles on the rigging. All winches have just been serviced and she was last antifouled on the 17th of October. She is not a marina sitter and is ocean ready for her next adventure.

CONSTRUCTION

Epoxy fibreglass composite construction. Only Epoxy was used throughout the whole build. The use of each material was chosen as the strongest material for that purpose. 

All through-hull and deck fittings are predrilled over size then filled with epoxy, then redrilled to size and filled with sikaflex to avoid penetration of water.All portholes and hatches are made from fibreglass moulds and fibreglassed into Klegicell and Nydaplast. All through-doorways in  bulkheads and frames are reinforced with a thick core of unidirectional fibreglass.On the bottom of the hull are extra layers of double bias fibreglass with a 4 metre x 50 mm mini keel with stainless steel shoe for sitting aground.
