(non-traditional implementations)
| "Sea Chest" water-inlets
eliminate many potential compromises of hull integrity; there are only
five (5) underwater thru-hull fittings on SEDATION 4. |
 |
| Seawater intake water-quality for the 400 gallon-per-day
watermaker is
enhanced in the staggered thru-hull
layout.
Cleaner water reduces
pre-filter contamination with longer maintenance intervals. |
 |
| The "labyrinth floorplan"
eliminates numerous doors. Accessibility, usable floorspace and
ventilation are substantially improved. The heads' unique pocket
doors are my favorite aspect. |
 |
| Custom Deck Hardware provides safety and functionality not
available in off-the-shelf components. All mounting points are
integral with the vessel's structure for strength ... the entire boat
can be lifted safely by any 2 "cleats". Final designs are almost
complete. Meanwhile, here's a rendering of a springline
bollard. Notice the lack of visible mounting hardware?
There are NO visible fasteners on the outside of SEDATION 4. |
 |
| The raised PilotHouse floor provides a unique "basement" with copious storage and integral
ductwork for ventilation. |
