  • 7.68m racing box boom built from high modulus carbon and weighing 68 kgs. Its deep section provides maximum stiffness to weight efficiency and maximises downwind sail area. 
  • With internal locks at the outboard end of the boom, reefing is made efficient for the crew to manage in strong winds. 
  • The rigging consists of nine separate stays and is constructed from intermediate modulus carbon fibre, the mainstays have a 26-ton minimum break load.

ELECTRONICS & INSTRUMENT

  • As a part of the weight-saving design concept the Volvo 65 employs 24-volt DC electrical systems. This allows weight saving by minimizing wiring size compared to a more common 12-volt DC system. 
  • Mastervolt lithium-ion batteries save as much as 70% in weight over more traditional battery technology. These are recharged via two NEW heavy- duty Mastervolt alternators with 150- amp output. 
  • The alternators are driven by the main engine, as comparatively low-current- draw equipment, high alternator output, and a very high recharge acceptance rate for the lithium-ion batteries, engine run time is minimised. 
  • It takes around one hour a day to bring all systems up to full charge, thus reducing diesel fuel usage– therefore less weight needs to be carried onboard. 
  • Battery Banks: 
  • 2 x Mastervolt Lithium batteries saving around 70% of the weight of traditional batteries with the additional benefit of being very robust. 
  • Battery charger. 
  • Alternators (NEW 2023): 
  • 2 x 150 Amp Mastervolt alternators on the main engine. 
  • Satcom Inmarsat 250 
  • 2 x new Panasonic Toughbook’s 
  • Radar cable 
  • Impellers in keel & hull 
  • 1 x wind unit
