Accommodation :
Construction
The hull is a single-skinned GRP construction. Reinforced points (keel, rudder, chain plates, hull-deck joint) help to strengthen the structure.

A structural inner moulding is bonded and laminated to the hull. Its structural role is important as it takes and absorbs the stresses at pressure points (shroud chain-plate tie rods, keel, rudder, etc.), and spreads any loads, resulting in reduced strain on the hull. The surface material on the inner moulding makes cleaning easier and provides a better finish.

The deck is of sandwich construction (glass fibre and balsa) for an optimal strength/weight ratio and thermal and sound insulation.

The top surface of the deck has a ‘diamond point’ non-slip finish to increase safety over all areas of movement. The hull/deck joint is secured by an aluminium toerail bonded and screwed in position, which forms a foothold all around the hull for increased safety.
The steering wheel is mounted on a pivoting column in the cockpit. This allows the wheel to be placed in a fore-and-aft position when not in use, thereby facilitating movement around the cockpit. An emergency tiller is also provided. The wheel operates a spade rudder.
The keel is of cast iron construction with a bulb at its base.

Owners Comments

„Pilibín“ is a lovely, spacious, comfortable boat. When moored or at anchor, the cockpit tent can be quickly and easily erected. This allows the cockpit area to be used in all weathers, while the windows on all sides allows 360° visibility. She is a fast, sea kindly boat and will glide along effortlessly in a Force 3 or on engine at less than 2000 rpm. For those who want to go faster, an almost unused gennaker is included.

Broker’s Comments

„Pilibín“ was imported in from Wales in 2020 and one can see immediately that this boat has been exceptionally well minded by her owners. She is a lovely cruising yacht with all the bells and whistles!
