DetailsA 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.

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. HULLS Under the water line - 17mm strip cedar with 610 grm double bias fibreglass on each side with cedar frames every meter - 12 sealed compartments from forward to aft beam in each hull and a sacrificial collision bulkhead 300mm deep Above the water line - 6 sealed compartments above the water line in each hull Sides of hulls - 9mm ply with 610 grm double bias fibreglass on the  inside and 200 grm double bias on the outside. - All ply is reinforced with stringers inside 150mm apart. Stringers are  doubled up around stress points such as beams and centreboardBEAMS - End grain balsa 1 forward, 1 centre and 2 aft with heavy glass lay ups  - Beams are largeEye beams with top and bottom 150mm wide DECKS Forward from mast - 17mm strip cedar to account for compression – 610 grm dbl bias Mast to Aft Beam - 20 mm Nidaplast with 4 carbon length-wise mini beams going back to aft beam with 610 grm double bias fibreglass Aft beam to stern 15mm Klegecell with 610 grm double bias fibreglass with 450 gr carbon layover and a carbon mini beam DECKHOUSE  Sides - 20mm Nidaplast with 610 double bias fibreglass Top and Awning - 25mm Nidaplast with 610 double bias fibreglass Underwing - 25mm Nidaplast with 610 double bias fibreglass reinforced with 4 - 100mm length ways beams.
