Gemini material information |
|
RIB Hull structure
All Gemini Rigid Inflatable hulls are constructed to
exceed the specifications on Lloyds for vessels of
applicable size and speed. The hull is balsa cored to
minimise weight whilst dramatically increasing
stiffness, compared to a solid fiber laminate. All balsa
core sections are kept narrow to eliminate sheer stress
between the inner and outer hull skins. The inner and
outer skins are linked at the spraystrakes sections. The
hull is supported with a grid of internal bulkheads,
mechanically fastened and laminated with 2400g/m of
fibreglass. The bonding area of the hull is no less than
200mm on either side of the bulkhead.
The deck is bonded to the hull and glass fibred to the
bulkheads to achieve a monocoque design. The centreline
of the hull is overlapped along the entire length to
double the thickness and strength. The keelson hollow is
filled with continuous rovings and the outer section
protected by and aluminium channel. The transom is
massively reinforced with the longitudinal bulkheads
laminated to the transom with 2400g/m on each side. All
materials are independently approved by Lloyds.
Stainless Steel
All stainless steel fittings used by Gemini are of 316
or 304 grade.
Hypalon/PVC
The tubes are made from either PVC or Hypalon depending
on the customers order. PVC is a plastic based material
providing limited UV resistance, lasting up to 15 years
if cared for properly. Gemini chooses Pennel Orcaź
Hypalon as a superior synthetic rubber based material
with Hypalon protective outer coatings and is regarded
as the industry standard for inflatable tubes. Pennel
Orcaź Hypalon complies with ISO 9002 and offers far
superior UV and Fuel resistance properties to PVC.
CE Sales Within The European Community
Nine Gemini models have been examined, tested and passed
in terms of European Community directive 94/25/EC and
have been certified to exhibit the CE mark. This ensures
that they are legally marketable within the European
Community. These models are the Zapcat, Surf 400, GRX
420, and the Waveriders 380, 470, 505, 550, 600, and
730. |
