OWNER’S COMMENTS:
After looking at different types of high quality and performances sailing yachts in the range between 45 and 50 ft, The Solaris 47 was the obvious choice. The construction and finish are at a very high level and the design is truly beautiful.
The Solaris 47 is offering a very spacious and comfortable design with exceptional sailing performance. The self-tacking jib and the Furlerboom makes it easy to handle the boat by a two men crew in any condition.
No lines are running over the deck and the wide side decks provide a very safe platform and all sail handling is done from the two winch positions in the cockpit.
We have thoroughly enjoyed cruising with AVALON in the Med and were impressed by her performance and comfort, but we are now ready to explore other European waters with our motor yacht.
Specification
CONSTRUCTION
RCD Status:
• The yacht is built to CE Boat Category A-ocean, with RINA as the Notified Body.
Hull Construction:
• Hull and Deck are in a sandwich composite construction using E-glass and PVC Airex core.
• This structure allows the construction of a light hull, which withstands the multi-directional loads much better and is far more rigid than other simple laminated constructions.
• The core consists of a closed cell Airex foam of different densities preventing moisture to enter into the construction in case of a damage.
• The lamination process and bonding with the sandwich is done through a vacuum infusion process.
• In the high load areas reinforcements with unidirectional and bi-directional Carbon fabrics are used and the Airex core will be replaced with a higher density foam or marine plywood.
• The thickness of the laminate construction is carried out in accordance to the requirements of the design-engineer and checked prior to construction by an official approved Technical Authority.
• Transverse and longitudinal reinforcements are made to the correct dimensions in E-glass and laminated with epoxy resin to the hull.
• The main bulkhead and the forward bulkhead are in composite using an Airex core.
• The water lines are in Gelcoat or painted with polyurethane.
• All the composite and plywood bulkheads will be well resin bonded and laminated to the hull and deck. This type of construction guarantees superior stiffness and strength compared to other silicone bonding systems. This represents a uniqueness of Solaris.

• The aft chain plates are fixed to a marine plywood reinforcement and well resin-bonded to the hull stringers and the deck.
• The inox steel mast base is bedded on a GRP support which is connected to the floor and bottom, well resinbonded to the yachts superstructure.
Keel & Rudder:
• The 2.50m-draft torpedo bulb keel is designed and built for high speeds and guarantees performance and stability.
