Description: a lifeboat composed by the hull plus a superstructure made of composite material of THIRD GENERATION and EFOAM core

Length: 9.5 m

Total weight of the hull plus superstructure: 2.224 kg

Total Volume: m3 2.288 m^3

 

Specifications: the raft is realized with the hull and the deck in a sandwich structure and consists of EPREG UD 52 laminates and EFOAM core. The hull laminates are placed at + - 45° of the boat’s axis in order to obtain high values of stiffness and torsional resistance. The bottom, the bow and the walls of the hull are sized for a pressure of 100k Pa (10000 kg/m^2). The top is sized for 10k Pa (1000 kg/m^2). The longitudinal strength and stiffness are insured by longitudinal structures: a keel with unidirectional longitudinal reinforcements, two longerons with unidirectional longitudinal reinforcements and an edge with crossed reinforcements.

 

Material: EFOAM, EPREG UD 52
