A full set of Vripack construction drawings is available in digital format.

 

Hull, Deck & Superstructure Construction:

• Built by Kuipers Woudsend B.V. - Woudsend – Holland, with subcontractors for Hull: Jachtwerf vd Werff & Visser - Irnsum - Holland. Interior: Hagebo B.V. - Woudsend - Holland.
• Construction: Vripack-Yachting International – Holland.
• Interior design: Vripack-Yachting International – Holland.
• Air-draft: (minimum) ± 22’2” / 6.75m - max. 34’5” / 10.50m.
• Heavy displacement round bilged hull with integrated stern platform, flared bow and deep skeg.
• Built in 8/7/6 mm steel with framing each (45) cm and steel bulwarks (5 mm).
• 4 watertight compartments by 3 bulkheads, of which 1 has a watertight door.
• Hakorit docking/bumper strips along the hull sides, and extended by 2 metres in stainless steel along the stern extension during 2021 refit.
• Steel bulwarks with stainless steel railing all over the bulwark.
• Stainless steel stern line tubes, bow protection plate in polished stainless steel and anchor hull-shell pockets fitted with stainless steel protection strips – all new in 2021 refit. Stainless steel fairlead holes, anchor chain hawse pipes and bollards. The bow section of the hull is built in 304 stainless steel and painted, with polished 316 stainless plating and reinforcements as required in high stress areas. In ice conditions, the paint might chip, but the stainless hull plates will not corrode, giving ample time for paint repairs at a later time. Extended generator double walled stainless steel exhausts integrated into stern extension during 2021 refit.
• Hull topsides sanded, repaired as needed, primed and painted in Awlgrip midnight blue (2021 refit).
