1. Principal Dimensions
LOA (hull): 30.48 m
LWL: 27.60 m
BWL: 5.40 m
Ballast appr.: 16600 kg
Displacement: 43t
Engine: 300 HP
1.1. General
The idea is to create a modern performance cruising yacht, which will be used mainly in
the Med and warmer climates. The yacht will be used mainly for exclusive charter and
cruising by private owners. To ensure good performance, careful attention to weight
saving should be made wherever possible. With its reasonably high sail area
displacement ratio there should be good all round performance. The idea is to create a
unique and innovative yacht with modern clean styling, without losing any feeling of
comfort.
1.2. Classification
(Still to be decided)
The yacht will be classed and shall comply with the British D.O.Ts “The Safety Of Small
Commercial Sailing Vessels - A Code of Practice” regulations, for which a certificate will
be applied for or the EU ISO Rules.
1.3. Substitutions
All materials and manufactured articles of construction and equipment are to be of the
best quality for their respective purposes. References to trade names and catalogue
numbers are generally intended to be descriptive rather than restrictive, and are
indicative of the general type and grade of articles that will be satisfactory. The Architect
will normally be prepared to approve substitutions if satisfied that there will be no sacrifice
in quality, difficulty with procurement of spare parts, or replacement. However, in all
cases, it is understood that the choice shall rest with the Owner or Architect and changes
from items listed by trade name shall be made only with his approval.
1.4. Weight and Performance
Control of weights, centers of gravity, and weight reduction where feasible is critical to
the performance of the yacht. Wherever in the specifications approved substitutions are
made for specified items of equipment or equipment specified on an “or equal” basis the
equivalent weights of the new equipment shall not exceed the weight of the items
specified unless approved by the Architect.
The builder shall weigh the boat at major milestones and provide the Architect with
actual “as-built” weights and longitudinal centers of gravity. The Architect may wish to
witness these procedures.
7

1.5. Architect’s Drawings
As per contract.
1.6. Welding
When welding is required the American Bureau of Shipping Rules for Construction of
Yachts, shall be used as guidance in welding steels and other metals. All aluminum
welding shall be by shielded inert gas process MIG (gas metal arc) or TIG (gas tungsten
arc) or equal. External welds shall be ground flush. Work with serious burning or
undercutting must be cut out and re-welded. Joint preparation and welds shall be in
accordance with “Alcoa Handbook on Welding”. The proper sequence of welding shall
be followed to avoid distortion. Dye penetrant checks shall be made as required. All
stainless steel welding of exposed parts or fittings shall be ground smooth and finished
with a high polish.
1.7. Lofting
The Architect can provide the superstructure geometry as offsets, plans, full size mylars
or computer data files of the sections.
1.8. Trials & Tests
Prior to trials, all machinery, equipment and systems shall have been operated by the
Builder. The magnetic compasses shall have been compensated. The fresh water
system shall be decontaminated; including tanks. Fuel oil tanks and piping shall be
flushed with diesel oil, bypassing machinery.
The Builder is to install without cost such apparatus as the Architect or engine
manufacturer may provide for the purpose of taking pressures, fuel consumption,
ventilation, deliveries, or other data for the duration of the trials. Exhaust back-pressure
readings must be determined.
Dockside trails shall include operation of the main machinery for two hours at as much
speed as is practical without undue heating to the satisfaction of the manufacturer’s
representative. All auxiliaries and systems such as pumps, electric plant, heating
system, anchor windlass, plumbing and fresh water system as well as mechanical
devices and gear shall be thoroughly tried and operated under load to determine
compliance with specifications. Handling of boats, gangways, anchors, and other gear
shall be demonstrated. All electrical equipment shall be tried out and demonstrated to be
in proper working order.
W.T Bulkheads, hull, deck, hatches, etc. to be given hose tests for water-tightness. Fuel
and water tanks shall be tested to a hydrostatic head equal to a height of (2 feet) 0.61m
above the fill cap.
The ventilation and air-conditioning system shall be tested for deliveries, temperature,
humidity control, general operation, and cycling. Provision for proper condensation
drainage shall be checked.
The yacht shall undergo sailing trails to the satisfaction of the Owner. After satisfactory
dockside trials, powering trials will be run over ranges of speed from low to maximum
full power. Trials are to include maneuvering, reversing and turning. The steering gear
shall be tested. The emergency steering arrangement shall also be tested.
8

A four hour trial at maximum continuous power shall be run. Engine room cooling and
combustion air supply system shall be checked at full power for satisfactory operation.
All other systems shall be tried underway at sea. All sail handling gear and winches will
be checked for proper operation.
A minimum of three days shall be required for Sea Trials, one under power and two
under sail. The sailing trials must include at least one day of winds of 15-20 knots.
Weather conditions for trials are subject to the approval of the Architect.
1.9. Access to Compartments
Arrangement for access and for cleaning out and painting shall be provided to all
compartments and to all parts of the vessel wherever practical. Flooring throughout
shall be fitted with suitable hatches. Access to the engine, steering gear and all other
equipment that may require services of any kind shall be provided by developing joiner
work, etc., which can be removed for convenient access. Care shall be taken in locating
pipes and other parts to avoid blocking of access. If necessary, removable sections
shall be utilised.
1.10. Draft Marks
Draft marks shall be placed on the yacht in accordance with instructions from the
Architect. Mark locations must be carefully located and positions carefully checked with
Architect before launching and placing on yacht.
1.11. Owner Supplied Items
The following items will be supplied by the Owner and installed by Builder. Owner
supplied items are to be installed by the Builder with necessary foundations,
connections and related equipment. The Owner will supply those items specifically listed
below, and anything else required for a complete vessel of the type described shall be
