Built to the Highest Standards
Steel construction to American Bureau of Shipping Standards. German shipbuilding steel used throughout with 3.2 mm steel in the deckhouse and decks, 4 mm in the hull, from the bulwarks to slightly below the waterline, and 6 mm steel used from below the waterline to the keel.
The lead ballast was hot poured into the internal keel cavity. Frames are located on approximately 16" to 20" centers throughout the vessel. The hull was built right side up, and was properly sand-blasted and zinc sprayed, inside and out. Coal Tar Epoxy was applied to all internal steel from the bottom of the vessel to one foot above the waterline.
From the water line up, and into the decks and house sides and house top, there is sprayed-in polyurethane foam to eliminate internal condensation, to insulate the accommodations from extremes of both heat and cold, and to provide exceptionally fine sound insulation. As a result, SHAMBHALA is capable of handling equatorial heat and Arctic cold with equal aplomb, and is a very quiet steel boat, with none of the rumblings and reverberations often times associated with steel construction.
The exterior surfaces are incredibly fair, and needed only a small amount of epoxy based fairing compound prior to application of the finish paint coatings. The deck's non-skid coatings as well as the hull and cabin sides are Awlgrip two-part expoxy finished.
There are two separate steering systems: a wire to quadrant unit that is connected to the wheel and pedestal in the cockpit, and a hydraulic unit that services the steering station in the wheelhouse. The Robertson autopilot is integrated into this hydraulic system. All through-hull fittings are heavy duty stainless steel units, several of which incorporate lever-type back up units for the ultimate in security.
