Over 115 hulls of this model were manufactured during its production run.Invercloy is currently set up as a liveaboard with the owners doing the occasional trips away. Various modifications have been made to make live aboard easier. Eg, Solar panels, fresh water electric toilets and LED lighting.She has Twin Ford Lehman's SP275 275hp Engines on Shaft drives to 3 bladed props, she is also fitted with Raymarine Instruments including Radar and Autopilot.Construction The hull and deck are manufactured of glass reinforced plastic (GRP) utilising chopped strand glass fibre mat and woven glass fibre roving. The fibre lay-up plan is described in detail in the build specification and original Bureau Veritas build survey report still retained in the boat papers. The layup is substantial with orthophthalic polyester resin used to consolidate the laminate matrix and additional laminate and backing plates used in areas where higher design loads are expected. Structural strength is provided by strengthened and reinforced longitudinal stringers and transverse beams laminated into the hull.The deck moulding utilises sandwich technology with a ¾” balsawood core sandwiched in between GRP laminate skins incorporating both chopped strand glass fibre mat and woven glass fibre roving.The hull and deck are joined with a flange joint secured with adhesive and fasteners and covered by a substantial teak and rubber strake at the sheer.The hard chined, semi-displacement, deep footed vee-hull with a gently curved overhang at the bow provides good performance and excellent sea-keeping qualities. The substantial encapsulated long keel ensures a good degree of lateral stability as well as protection for the twin shaft drive propellers and twin hydraulically operated rudders. A electrically driven, tunnel mounted bow thruster provides additional slow speed manoeuvrability.At the transom an substantial GRP/stainless steel frame securely bolted onto the hull shell provides port and starboard step access from pontoon level. This structure also provides enclosed storage for equipment including the tender outboard engine.The large foredeck includes an extended bow platform that provides storage for the main anchor with an electrically operated windlass fixed proud onto the foredeck behind it. Port and starboard side decks enable unencumbered walking around from the spacious aft deck. The decks are completely enclosed by substantial stainless steel tube stanchions and rails connected to a push-pit and pulpit with lower guard wires.The aft deck is teak planked with an alloy framed acrylic Bowmar ceiling hatch for the aft cabin located centrally.The mid positioned flybridge is accessed via steps up from the aft deck. It includes passenger seating aft with a helm station/instruments forward and is enclosed by substantial raised coamings/sidewalls.
