Hulls

The GRP hull and deck, with Kevlar re enforcement in high load areas, are hand laid in one piece female moulds. Below the waterline the hulls are solid laminate with isopthalic gel coat, whist above both hull and deck have an end grain balsa core for strength and insulation. The hull to deck join is fully bonded, and features a substantial rubbing strake.

The deck had a molded non-slip surface. Many of the bulkheads are of vacuum bagged foam core, and when the interior joinery is bonded in, a light and stiff ‘honeycomb’ structure is created.

The keels are integrally molded as part of the hulls, and are sealed off from the hulls forming a double bottom. The Broadblue 385 is virtually unsinkable due to its watertight bulkheads and buoyancy compartments fore and aft.

Rudders and Steering

Rudders are skew hung on stainless steel stocks with self lubricating bearings. The steering system is hydraulic with the rudders linked together with a cross link beam. The hydraulic arm is attached directly to the rudder shaft. The port rudder has an access cover above and is designed to accept an emergency tiller.
