Solaris 50

Construction

RCD Status: The yacht conforms with the essential safety requirements of Directive 94/25EC or RCDII (2013/53/EU as appropriate (Recreational Craft Directive) and is categorised A – “Ocean”

 

Hull, Deck & Superstructure Construction:

• Hull and deck are in a sandwich composite construction using E-glass and PVC Airex core.
• This structure allows the construction of a light hull, which withstands the multi-directional loads much better and is far more rigid than other simple laminated constructions.
• The core consists of a closed cell Airex foam of different densities preventing moisture to enter into the construction in case of a damage.
• The lamination process and bonding with the sandwich is done through a vacuum bagging process.
• Vacuum bagging is also used for the lamination of the deck.
• In the high load areas reinforcements with unidirectional and bi-directional Carbon fabrics are used and the Airex core will be replaced with a higher density foam or marine plywood.
• The thickness of the laminate construction is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the design-engineer and checked prior to construction by an official approved Technical Authority.
• Transverse and longitudinal reinforcements are made to the correct dimensions in E-glass and laminated with epoxy resin to the hull. The main bulkhead is in composite using an Airex core.
• The bow and the aft bulkheads are in composite.
• All the composite and plywood bulkheads will be well resin bonded and laminated to the hull and deck. This type of construction guarantees superior stiffness and strength compared to other silicone bonding systems. This represents a uniqueness of Solaris.
• The bow and central chainplates are made in stainless steel and fixed into the composite structure of the yacht.
• The deck area around the mast and the chain plates is reinforced.
• The aft chain plates are fixed to a reinforcement and well resin bonded to the hull stringers and the deck.
• The main and the fore bulkheads are in composite material. All the other bulkheads are made in marine plywood covered with oak, well resin bonded to the hull and the deck.
• The water on deck is drained by rubber pipes and valves on the bottom of the hull.
• Cockpits, included seats and aft surfaces covered with 10 mm laid teak, bonded onto the deck with epoxy resins.
• Sandwich construction with airex foam core for hull and deck.
• Composite main and fore bulkheads.
• Hull structure with unidirectional transversal and longitudinal frames and carbon reinforcement.
• Composite chainplates.
• All the bulkheads are completely resin bonded to hull and deck.
• Bathing platform with controls in cockpit and integrated swim ladder.
• Steps on the transom.
• Tender garage with GRP floor.
• Bathing platform covered in teak.
• Antifouling (International - Micron grey), including keel lamination.
• Painting of the hull with high quality products, type Awlcraft 2000 by Awlgrip, pastel colours, in place of the white-gelcoat standard finish (hull post curing included) MAJESTIC BLUE + WATERLINES "BLACK METALLIC MIST".
• Teak on coachroof (grey caulking).
• Teak on side decks (grey caulking).
• Chainplate and staysail tack.

 

Keel & Rudder:

• The bulb keel is designed and built for high speeds and guarantees performance and stability.
• The keel ballast is made of lead/antimony.
