CONSTRUCTION
The main hull and deck is manufactured using Glass
Reinforced Plastic (GRP). GRP matting and a polyester resin
are laminated in moulds to produce the hull and deck
shapes. The outer suffaces have a gelcoat layer
approximately 1mm thick which provides a water resistant
skin.
Three types of GRP are used: Unidirectional mat for high
strength and reinforcing, woven roving for high strength and
reinforcing, chopped strand Mat (CSM) for intricate
mouldings.
PVC foam is used in deck and coach roof mouldings for
strength. lt is light in weight and does not absorb water.

Plywood is used in high load areas such as stanchion
bases. Aluminium plate is used at the mast heel plinth for
high strength.
Hull using bulkheads and stringers.
The polyurethane foam formers
over inside of the hull and underside of
the deck. Plywood can be used as an alternative.
1.1

The most important structural area is in the region of the
keel attachment. This is heavily reinforced with
polyurethane foam overlaid with GRP to withstand the
tremendous forces exerted.
SKIN FITTINGS AND SEACOCKS
resistant material such as bronze, stainless steel or plastic.
They are either integrated with, or associated with, a
seacock. The exception is where they are used to allow hull
penetration for log or echo sounder transducers, etc.
The three types of seacock currently fitted to Westerly
Yachts are:
Skln Fitting Gate Valve
Application: Used for engine cooling with Volvo remote
filter, sink drain outlet and cockpit drains.
Operation: Turn tap anti-clockwise to open and clockwise
to close.

Skin Fitting Sleeve Valve
Applications: Toilet inlet and toilet outlet.
Operation: To open, turn lever to align with inlet/outlet hose.
Fig.3 - Open
To close, turn lever until at right angles to the inlet/outlet
hose.
