HULL AND DECK:

Hull Construction
Hand laid up glass reinforced plastic. The
laminate is a cored sandwich structure
comprising glass filament mats and polyester
resins with pigmented gel coat finishes.
Two applications of hand brushed isophalic gel
coat (Scott Bader enhanced Optima) with a
choice of pigmented hull topside finish in white,
dark blue. Gel coats are checked for thickness
prior to the application of the first laminate.
Initial lay-up also in isophalic resin combining
with powder bound mats. The hull laminate
with DCPD modified orthophalic polyester resin
is a modern composite structure of varying layups
and mat configurations to match the hull
panel analysis. The hull core comprises 25mm
end grain balsa put down on a polyester core
bonding paste for maximum skin adhesion. The
sandwich structure gives increased panel
stiffness associated with weight savings to
optimise the yacht's centre of gravity. The
underwater sections from midships forwards
are further stiffened by utilizing an Aramid
(Kevlar) bi- directional 0/90 laminate to increase
underwater impact resistance.
Hull stiffening is a complex mix of glassed in
floors and stringers through the keel bay and
main bilge area, plus structural bulkheads and
chain plate supports. Structural bulkheads are
bonded in and through bolted to the bonding
flange. Structural support is also provided in the
forward and after ends by bonded in tray
mouldings creating flange and girder section
support. Keel floors are moulded down into a
deep keel sump. All structural areas in way of
the keel box and holes cut through the laminate
for skin fittings, transducers and under water
appendages are in solid laminate. Ring floors
carry chain plate loadings through the hull floor
and are slot bonded to the main bulkhead. The
transom is stiffened for the option to fit davits at
a later date.

Floor structures are a combination of foam
cored floor girders through the keel floor area,
over-laminated with bi-directional stitched mats
to maximise the modulus of rigidity. Floors
through the mast heel area are hardwood cored
with over-bonding as above to carry the mast
compression loadings.
Bulkheads are structurally bonded to the hull
skin and the underside of deck and coach roof
with 100mm of glass bonding on both surfaces
plus through bolting at 225mm spacings. Aft
saloon bulkhead, forward saloon bulkhead and
aft skippers cabin bulkhead are foam cored to
give high panel stiffness and are designed to
counter the hydrostatic loadings of watertight
compartments if the yacht is required to be
MCA compliant.

Standard antifouling colour scheme for white and blue hull boats is Blakes Seatech Navy Boot top lines (painted)
- White hulls International Toplac Mauritius Blue
- Blue hulls International Toplac Rochelle Red Cavita lines (tape)
- White hulls as per Mauritius Blue
- Blue hulls Gold

Options
- Micron antifouling in lieu of standard.

Deck Structure
Hand lay up in glass fibre. Flat areas of the deck
and coachroof are balsa cored for good panel
stiffness and to improve insulation using 20mm
end grain balsa, 140kg per cubic metre density.
Vertical faces are cored with 12mm balsa of the
same density. Load bearing areas within the
deck where fittings and fastenings are fixed, the
balsa core is replaced with 20mm or 12mm
marine plywood to the depth of the surrounding
core. Inner and outer skins of the deck
sandwich are laid up with chopped strand mat
in way of re-enforcing pads and the inner skin is
increased to laminate thickness. The ring deck
(side, aft and fore deck) plus forward and after
coachroof are laid with a solid swept teak deck.
Major deck beams in way of the coachroof,
mast and mainsheet areas have additional
stiffening in the form of carbon fibre tapes
running the full length of the moulded
beam.Hull To Deck Joint
The hull is moulded with a return flange onto
which the deck is landed; the transom is an
integrally moulded part of the hull moulding.
The deck is bonded to the hull flange and also
mechanically fastened. The deck edge bulwark
is then fitted with a laminated teak cap rail. The
cap rail is stopped off and capped in way of the
two spring cleats per side, stanchions are fixed
to be bonded in under deck stainless steel
support spigots.

Option
- Salt water deck wash to foredeck

COCKPIT:

The cockpit is split into two sections, the steering
positions and a step down between the twin
helm positions to the crew/guest cockpit.
From the helm position there is excellent
access to the main deck either up a central step
to the aft coachroof area or outboard of each
helm, a single step over the coaming to the side
deck.
The helmsman's cockpit contains two custom
GRP binnacles mounting two 42" Whitlock
Commodore wheels.
Both binnacles have Plastimo Olympic 135
steering compasses and both binnacle seats
have stainless backrests with upholstered rolled
sections. Two stainless cup holders are
provided adjacent to the helm seats. The port
binnacle contains all engine controls.
engine gauges and switches are mounted in
custom panel fitted into the binnacle together
with carling switches for operation
panel/compass lights, deck lights and operation
of the hydraulic transom door. On the coaming
adjacent to this panel is mounted the control
the 15hp Sleipner bowthruster and a single
lever MMC Mathers electronic gear control.
This is a 'fly by wire' system allowing smooth
and easy operation of the gearshift. The
standard boat is set up to be driven under
power from the port binnacle.

Option
- Duplicate the single lever engine and bow
thruster controls to the starboard coaming
alongside the binnacle.
The starboard binnacle duplicates the carling
switches from the port binnacle and also
contains the navigational equipment in the form
of a Raymarine 6001 autopilot control and
second Raymarine 240E VHF handset are also
fitted at this binnacle. Both helm seats have
upholstered cushions to match the upholstered
rolls fitted to the stainless backrests.
Adjacent to the starboard helm in the coaming
is the Navtec control panel with manual pump,
which is fed from the Lewmar Commander
allowing switchable operation for the vang and
backstay.

Options
- Various pod options are available allowing
radar and instrumentation to be fitted to a
kickback rail at the binnacle.
Lewmar 30 CST winches are mounted inboard
of the helm seats with Lewmar 60mm racing
foot blocks allowing full control of the
mainsheet traveller system.
The guest/crew cockpit contains a permanent
fixed table with a solid teak top and two folding
leaves. Incorporated into the design of the
table are stainless grabs at the forward and
end. The aft grab is extended up and kicked fwd
to mount a Raymarine E80 LCD colour
radar/plotter repeater, linked to the master
Raymarine E120 unit at the chart area. A drinks
locker with lift out lid in the centre table section.
A teak grating covers the cockpit drains, which
are 50mm, allowing fast draining of the cockpit
area.

ENGINE INSTALLATION:

A Yanmar 4 LHA-STE Turbo charged fourcylinder
diesel engine of 230 horsepower
(169kw) is fitted with a ZF-Hurth marine
gearbox, which has a reduction ratio of 2.68:1.
The engine is wired for 24 volts and is fitted
with 1 off 175amp and 1 off 35amp alternators.
The engine is secondary circuit cooled with
freshwater by means of an engine driven
coolant pump, heat extracted from the engine is
transferred via an engine mounted heat
exchanger to the primary seawater circulating
system. The raw water inlet is fitted with a
clear-topped filter, and after cooling the sealed
freshwater system is injected into the exhaust.
The exhaust system is runs through a muffler
pot and separator manufactured in GRP by
Halyard Marine to reduce engine noise levels..
This separates the water from the exhaust
gases, the exhaust gases being blown out via a
swan neck through the deadrise of the transom
and water being expelled below the waterline in
way of the engine compartment.
The standard engine instruments are fitted to
the port binnacle. These include the standard
alarms supplied with the Yanmar 'C' type panel
i.e. oil pressure, temperature, alarm mute and
engine battery charging, with an additional
warning light for the second alternator and a rev
counter, hour meter, oil pressure and
temperature gauges. Also incorporated into this
panel is a warning light and buzzer for the
service batteries.
Engine control is through a Mathers MMC single
lever control mounted on the port coaming. This
is an electronic 'fly by wire' system allowing
smooth and precise engine control.

LAYOUT:

Roel de Groot's interior for the Moody 66 sets a new standard for a long distance yacht. The raised saloon, spanning the full width of Bill Dixon's generous hull shape, is breathtaking. This is a space for relaxing, so a flat screen TV, DVD and surround-sound hi-fi are fitted as standard, while the large, fully equipped galley includes a refrigerator, deep freeze and wine cooler.

The private accommodation is equally impressive. Aft, the massive owner's stateroom has full en-suite facilities and a flat screen TV. Forwards are one double and one twin guest cabin, both with toilet and shower compartments, and the skipper's cabin with its own facilities. There is also a large and practical chart station, and a study area complete with foldaway sea berth.

Fine lacquered furniture is used throughout the interior, and owners have a choice of refined fabrics for the soft furnishings.
