TANKS All tanks are built of a composite construction
around the hull structure and will be lined withappropriate materials that will resist penetration ofthe liquid that they are containing.All tanks shall be fitted with senders which shall befitted as near to the centre of the tank as possible. Main fuel tank 9,925 litresForward fuel tank (optional) 5,050 litres
Day fuel tank 4,525 litres
Black water tank 1,340 litres
Grey water tank 1,255 litres
ANCHORING EQUIPMENT Two 125kg ‘Manson’ High Holding Power Galvanised
kedge anchors are to be stowed in recessed
pockets integral with the hull shell. The recesses are
to be lined with stainless steel to prevent the
anchors chafing the hull. Chain and anchor seawater
washing is to be incorporated into each hawse pipe
so as to drain overboard on equipment retrieval.Twin Muir VCR 4500 chromed bronze hydraulicvertical anchor
windlass are to be fitted on the
foredeck. They will function in either direction and
operate at a single speed. A hand pendant on cord
mounted in the foredeck locker will provide up,
down and emergency stop control. Chain lockers, to be fitted in the forepeak, will be ofsufficient size to take two lengths of 120 metre
circa 14mm dia of high tensile (Grade 40)
galvanised chain. They are to be lined with
reinforced rubber matting to protect any exposed
surfaces. CONSTRUCTION >
Sunseeker 34 Metre Yacht
The entire shell and the majority of the stiffening of
the hull will be in hand laid FRP. The hull topsides will be gelled in Sunseekers’exclusive XL gel coat for a white hull and NPG gel
for a coloured hull to give the best possible
weathering resistance and gloss retention. The hull
below the waterline will be gelled with an NPG based
gel coat. To optimise the resistance to osmotic
blistering, the entire hull mould will have a skin coat
of powder bound chopped strand matt with
vinylester resin. The remaining hull shell consists of a single skinlaminate in the bottom using multi-axial
reinforcements with a substantial increase in
thickness in the keel area; hull sides will be of a
sandwich type construction. Longitudinal stringers and deep girders will stiffenthe hull shell; transverse bulkheads, FRP ring frames
and watertight bulkheads in turn support these. The longitudinal stiffeners will be of unidirectionaland multi-axial plies over non-structural foam
formers in way of stringers and over PVC foam
engine girders. Additional reinforcements are provided in way of thepropeller shaft brackets, rudders and wherever
there are concentrated loads requiring an increase
in strength or stiffness. The design is for an FRP composite, Motor Yachtfitted with twin
marine diesel engines driving screw
propellers through reversing/reduction gearboxes.The construction of the hull, deck andsuperstructure together with all interior joinery and
furniture shall be designed and built to first class
yacht building standards. Construction shall be
lightweight yet immensely durable, using materials
of the best quality, to Sunseeker Yacht standards.The choice and specification of all equipment andfittings is to be made with consideration to practical
seaman like requirements with minimum weight,
balanced against durability and quality.The yacht is to be designed, built and equipped tosuit operation in Mediterranean or equivalent
conditions. Special consideration is to be made in
the choice and specification of air-conditioning and
ventilation systems, to ensure total suitability for the
climate envisaged. CLASSIFICATION The vessel will be built to:
