Hi!
I got a hold of a macgregor 36 cat and planning on using it for racing/private charter work....
There is some work ahead of me but generally speaking here is a scope of work that's happening:
new cross beams (wider, 20')
new mast: rotating wing mast 43'
Composite deck behind mast with...
Very traditional galley lay out only that everything is laminated from carbon sandwich panels with foam core. Even the ice box!. The whole bench top plate weights 3 kg. The structure is laminated to the hull to provide extra stiffness.
The rudder blade of the Bondi 36. The stock was laminated around a CNC machined foam core. The core was geometrically the most complicated part of the boat since it had to follow the shape of the rudder profile with a variable offset along the length of the stock. The stock laminate is thickest...
View of the cockpit area when the deck was first fitted to the hull. The mass of the complete deck is just under 200 kg and features carbon skins and a foam core. Both deck skins were vacuum infused with epoxy resin.
View of the interior without deck of the Bondi 36. All components are carbon sandwich with foam core. In the aft cabin area the water ballast tanks are visible. The rest of the interior has a traditional lay-out.
Curing of the deck bond under vacuum. The collision bow area was laminated at the same time. The collision bow was laminated over a foam core which will dent during large collisions, absorb energy and allow easy repair.
The first build of a new breed of fast monohull ferry for the European Market (EU Class C). Twin water jet propulsion, 18 knots fully laden, (30 knots achieved light on trials!)
At 36 feet, Whitecap's hull is designed to be built in metal by a folding method, better known as "origami". With the use of thick plating and few internals, the shell part of the building is fast.
The shape obtained is a classic double-ender with the possibility for many options in...
