HULL

The absolute key factor in designing a hull laminate is strength. Each Bluewater hull is simply the strongest and most resilient hull offered in the semi-custom, offshore performance cruising market. Each hull is solid laminate, no cores. To further strengthen their Hulls, most top builders offer aramid fiber (Twaron or Kevlar, FAQ) in key impact areas. Some even offer a layer or two in the complete Hull.   Bluewater offers alternate layers of Twaron throughout the entire Hull and Deck laminate schedules with Vinylester Resins throughout.   There is no chance for delamination. There is no chance for osmotic blistering. This is simply the finest, strongest Hull laminate in the offshore cruising market. 

 

In addition to the strength offered by our hull laminate each Bluewater Yachts design features Solid Watertight bulkheads forward and aft including individual lazarettes aft that are fully watertight protecting the stern and aft quarters. Forward of the watertight bulkhead in the bow cabin are separate sail lockers with independent access from the deck.  These lockers protect the integrity of the boat as buffers against collisions from the bow. The aft cabin, main saloon, and forward cabin(s) are protected by hull bottom to deck watertight bulkheads.
