The yacht is 38.38 metres long, 7.80 metres wide, has a full-load displacement of 217.3 tons, and a design speed of 15 knots. It was developed and built by Weihai Xigang Yacht. When selecting glass fibre composite as the main structural material, AOC’s high-quality boat manufacturing gelcoat/resin system was adopted.

The hull surface is coated with AOC Neogel NPG 8373 series gelcoat, which not only gives the vessel a beautiful exterior but also provides excellent water and weather resistance, serving as the “first line of protective screen” for the hull’s long-term safety. The main hull structure uses AOC Palatal A400TV series resin, providing robust structural support; Atlac 430 ACT series resin is used for the impermeable layer, ensuring the hull’s durability and safety in complex sea conditions with its excellent chemical corrosion resistance and high dynamic load-bearing capacity.

Promising industrial landscape

The ship is built using negative glass fibre composite moulds: the hull, deck, superstructure, and other components are formed separately and then assembled. This process not only allows for sleek hull lines to reduce drag, but also provides great flexibility in size and shape, offering a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics.

In 2022, Hainan Province introduced a series of policies, taking the lead nationwide in establishing a complete policy system for the development of recreational fishing. It was within this promising industrial landscape that Weihai Xigang Yacht undertook a 38-metre glass fibre composite recreational fishing boat project for Hainan Wuzhizhou Tourism Development Co., Ltd.

Weihai Xigang Yacht, a major composite material boat manufacturing company in Northern China, boasts strong technological capabilities. AOC China, as a professional boat material solutions partner, has extensive experience in rapid prototyping and anti-permeability systems. This powerful cooperation has created the benchmark boat model “Qiong Sanya Yuxiu 88351,” supporting the high-quality development of the glass fibre composite boat manufacturing industry.
