Construction

RCD – HAERSA is exempt from the EU’s Recreational Craft Directive as she was built and placed into use within the EU before 16th June 1998.

Scantlings and materials used in the construction of the Sweden Yachts 370 are to Lloyd’s Register approved drawings. A Lloyd’s Register Hull Construction Certificate is available with the yacht and a plaque is attached to an internal bulkhead.

Hull:-
End grain balsa core sandwich using chopped strand matt (CSM) and woven rovings on both sides to give a light, rigid and well insulated hull
Balsa core is used from the toe rail to the keel and bottom section. Further reinforcement to the keel area is via longitudinal and transversal solid laminate frames.
The engine beds are integrated into the bottom structure and moulded to the hull and filled with heavy ballast for increased stability
Stainless steel fabricated mast step is bolted to bottom reinforcement
Chainplates are connected to a specially developed stainless steel beam system to distribute loads without the need for additional internal reinforcements.
The hull and deck are joined using a special polyester filler with the aluminium toe rail through bolted.
Stainless steel capped rubbing strake set into topsides
Jotun gelcoats are used throughout with white topsides and a blue gelcoated waterline and boot-top
Epoxy treated

Deck, Superstructure and Cockpit:-
End grain balsa sandwich with moulded fibreglass on both sides. Stress areas where winches, sheet tracks etc are fixed are reinforced by replacing balsa core with marine plywood or by using backing plates.
Deck, coachroof, cockpit seating, cockpit sole and bathing platform are all teak laid using hand picked 12mm teak planking, glued with polyurethane and screwed in place.
Aluminium slotted toerail
Teak grabrails on coachroof

Keel & Rudder:-
HAERSA is fitted with the standard fin keel option.
The keel ballast is lead casting with antimony.
Cast-in keel acid-resistant stainless steel keel bolts
A lifting lug is fastened to the keel bolts and can
be accessed through removal of the soleboard aft
of the saloon table and an access hatch in the
 deckhead.
The balanced spade rudder is moulded in
fibreglass using uni-directional rovings and
mat for maximum strength.
The rudder stock is of stainless steel with 3
bearings; 2 ball bearings and 1 bronze bearing
 in the heel.
