5. Description and construction
The main material used in the construction of the hull is molded fiberglass on the basis
of polyester resin. At equipment fixing points there are located reinforcements and em-
bedded details. Connection of hull and deck made with stainless steel fasteners. Along
the perimeter of the board a fender guard is mounted that protects the boat from dam-
age. The main parts of the boat and the equipment layout are shown in Figure 1 (gener-
al arrangement).
In the middle part of the cockpit a control panel is located which includes: remote con-
trol joystick, radio with MP3 player, accumulator battery charge level indicator, direction
indicators, USB and AUX inputs, emergency power switch, and armrest. Seats, backrests
and armrest have upholstery. In the cockpit nose part, there is a hatch with a niche for
2 batteries. In the middle part of the cockpit under a demountable cover, there is a small
locker. The locker bottom is a demountable cover under which there is a niche for sew-
age from the top hull - a filtration sewage box. Seats have soft backrests. The aft deck
of a boat has a compartment with an opening cover (bonnet). In the stern compartment,
there is an under-bonnet with a steering mechanism installed on it. On the under-bonnet
there are located some elements of the electric system and 2 batteries. On the underwa-
ter part of the stern there are mounted stationary electric motors with propeller assem-
bly and motor protection frames. On the deck there are located mooring cleats, fittings of
awning fastenings and cupholders. In the forward and stern parts of the boat there are
transport (towing) rings (shackles). In the bottom hull, inside the boat, there is an auto-
matic pump with a return valve and an outlet connection installed portside in the middle
part of the boat.
5.1 Buoyancy block
Emergency buoyancy is achieved by placing expanded polystyrene blocks in the cavity
between the upper and lower parts of the shell. Buoyancy blocks are located in the
stern and bow parts of the boat.
5.2 Drainage channels
The boat is equipped with a system of scuppers, draining the water into the intrashell
space. The cockpit is equipped with a filtration storage box intended to collect sand and
garbage, which is under a demountable cover of the middle niche. The water should be
drained from the intrashell space on the bank through the transom plug located in the
lowest part of the transom.
Warning:
Boat launching with an open transom plug is prohibited!
We recommend leaving the transom plug open when the boat is on the shore to drain
the rain waters from the cockpit and dry the intrashell space.
Warning:
Before launching the boat, make sure the transom cap is in place and screwed
down tightly.
