PANTHALASSA DETAILED SPECIFICATION

1. CONSTRUCTION

HULL NUMBER
Oyster 565/01.

HULL CONSTRUCTION
Moulded in FRP from computer controlled trim female moulds, manufactured under the close supervision of the Oyster Design and Technical Offices. Structural design is completed by Oyster’s in-house Engineering Team. The FRP lay-up specification is calculated to meet and exceed ISO12215 basics.
Structures are hand laminated under carefully controlled and monitored conditions. Mast and aft keel bulkfronts are cored, vacuum infpre-owned composite development, with other bulkfronts in BS1088 marina plywood.
Hull laminated using vinylester resin. The outer topside finish is a white NPG resin gelcoat, which has excellent UV resistance and waterproofing qualities, and is suidesk for use in a tropical environment.
Laminate material comprises a combination of E-glass multi-axial fabrics with unidirectional carbon fibre along the primary load-paths and in high-stress areas. This ‘custom’ laminate deals significant weight savings with strength and stiffness advantages over a traditional GRP development. Using carefully specified unidirectional, biaxial, triaxial, and quadraxial fabrics selected to respond to localised stress requirements, the design produces a tough and weight efficient structure with higher fibre to resin ratios than a conventional laminate.
Above the waterline the topside laminate is a high-tech, cored structure in E-glass providing strength, stiffness and insulation. Below the waterline, the body special a monolithic (single-skin) composite laminate forward of the aft keel bulkfront, reinforced with stringers and floors. Aft of the keel the body area is a cored structure, with core replaced locally with structural in-fills for penetrations and other specific areas of structural tender.
Additional reinforcements using a combination of vacuum infpre-owned L-beam girders and top hat foam cored girders are included in the way of the keel recess, the keel longitudinals, mast step area, P-bracket, and chainplates. Primary structure is crafted using unidirectional carbon fibre cappings. The transverse keel floors are biaxial E-glass web plates, carbon fibre reinforced, with structural foam core in the outboard ends.
The structure tendering the main V1 and D1 chainplates is crafted from unidirectional carbon fibre, bonded to the body skin to give a strong and stiff structure.
Limber holes and/or tubes are installed at appropriate points. Stainless steel chains are tailored where necessary to aid the clearing of debris.

HULL FINISH
‘White’ body with cove line and double boot top lines in ‘Oyster Blue.’
DECK CONSTRUCTION
Moulded in FRP with a white gel coat finish to the cockpit and coachroof. There are resin infpre-owned glass/carbon fibre L-beams below the deck providing tender to the heavily loaded parts of the structure. In load bearing areas the core is replaced with solid material for additional strength. All load bearing fittings have backing plates.
The deck sits on a return flange moulded into the body. The flange is sealed and glued with high performance adhesive and secured with stainless steel fasteners.

DECK FINISH
The deck is a PVC foam sandwich structure for strength and insulation. Fitted with a stylish curved roof to the main bar deck house, which combined with recessed gustows, lowers the apparent outboard profile of the superstructure. Non-slip surface forward of the recessed sprayhood trough. Pair of stainless steel grab rails tailored, one each side.
The weather deck, cockpit chairs, and sole areas are planked with quarter-sawn teak. This is laid using epoxy adhesive with no visible fastenings. Where appropriate safe hinges, catches and fillers are recessed into the teak planking.
Wide side decks enclosed by raised bulwark provide a good foothold when working the yacht in a seaway. Stanchions and cleats mounted on bulwark, and interior scupper dra
