o'I:P,,rnd,users
must
understand
that the
stability
of a
yacht
can
be considerably
reduced
by
increasing
its
top
4t
,'reight (by
adding
extra
equipment
to the mast).
Consequently,
the
category
mentioned'above
only
applies
to
tle
yacht
a-,r^:
as it has
been
certified.

Gonstruction
The
ETAP
28s
js
built
of fibreglass-reinforced
polyester.
The
outside
layer
is finished
with
a
colourfast
coat
of
gelcoat.
The
ETAP
28s
has
been
built
in
accordan-ce
with
the
"ship-in-ship"
method
devetoped
by
ETAp.
As
well
as
a deck
and
hull
on
the
outside,
a further
"inner"
hull
and
deck
are
built
on the iniide.
These
are
laminated
into
a single
unit
in a
strong
sandwich
construction.
The
spaces
between
the inner
and
outer
walls
are filled
by injecting
closed-cell
polyurethane
foam.
This
unique
ETAP
construction
gffers
many
advantages
:
'
the foam
provides
sufficient
buoyancy
to
keep
the
yacht
afloat
with
sufficient
freeboard,
even if
it
is full of
water.
With
its
structure
of closed
cells,
the foam
absorbs
hardly
any
water
;
'
the double-wall
design
ensures
that
the
yacht
is well
insulated,
both
thermally
and acoustically.
This
means
that it
is
practically
condensation-free
and
the
climate
is
mutn
more
pleasant
inside
on hot
or
cold
days
;
o
thanks
to
the
use
of an
inner
deck
and inner
hull,
the ETAP
28s
achieves
a
unique
standard
of
finish:
no
decoration
with
hydrophobic
materials
or
plastic
skins
but a
polyester
structure
finished
to the
same
standard
as
the outside
of
the
yacht.
This
means
ttrat it
is maintenance-
friendly,
has
a long
service
life
and
is aesthetically pleasing
;
'
the
double
hull
shape
produces
a much
more
rigid
construction
which
"distorts"
less
while
under
way
and
always
retains
its
shape.
This
construction
has
already
been
successfully
used
on
many
thousands
of ETAp
yachts.
These
yachts
have
been
sailing
all
the world's
seas
for
more
than
30
years,
sometimes
in
very
rough
conditions.
