MAGNOLIA Boat for Sale

INTRODUCTION:

MAGNOLIA was built with the U –shaped dinette to port that converts to a double berth, providing 7 sleeping berths with the settee and pilot berth to starboard, quarter berth and forward v-berth.  Her comfortable and light interior is in excellent condition and on deck she is laid out with a large, comfortable cockpit and well thought out deck design.  Well worth making the effort to see if looking for a nice SW42.

CONSTRUCTION:

Hull is constructed from a hand laid laminate of blister resistant vinylester resin reinforced with a knit hybrid fabric of Kevlar/E-glass. A foam core is vacuum bagged into the laminate to provide the greatest degree of stiffness and thermal/acoustic insulation possible. This core is removed and additional layers of fiberglass are added in stress areas such as hull/deck connecting flange, centerline, keel, chainplates, rudder post, and all thru-hull fittings. A fiberglass hull stringer system is bonded to the hull and integrated with the mast step and engine mounts to form a single unit that is strong and light. Marelon ball-valve type seacocks are installed flush with hull.

Molded external lead keel (provides protection in the event of grounding) is secured to the hull with 1" stainless steel bolts.  The Centerboard is raised and lowered with a low stretch line that leads to a winch in the cockpit.  Guard rail at sheer is varnished on top and Awlgripped on the bottom and has stainless steel half oval.

The Deck is a one piece fiberglass molding which incorporates a hybrid knit fabric of Kevlar/E-glass to reduce weight and a core of cross-linked close celled PVC foam. The core is deleted and replaced with solid layers of reinforcing fiberglass in the way of major penetrations and stress areas. The 5 1/2" hull deck flange is laid up to receive the deck, and they are bonded together to assure a strong, permanent, water tight hull/deck joint.
