Solaris Sunstar 35 Construction
The hulls and bridgedeck are molded in one piece - less transoms - as is the deck molding. They are then bonded together to form a monocoque construction with immense inherent strength greatly contributed to by the curved nature of the structure. Constructional stiffness is further increased by a number of bulkheads, including collision bulkheads in the forward sections and keels. The basic lay up uses a combination of chopped strand mat (CSM), rovings and biaxial mat. The lamination starts with a double gel coat followed by a 225g/m2 powder-bound CSM. Next come two layers of 802g/m2 biaxial mat, one overall and the other up to the waterline. Then come the areas of core material - in the hull sides, this is a 12mm PU foam, and in the bridgedeck, scored 15 mm PVC foam, apart from the mast support area where 12mm end-grain balsa is used. Two laminations of 802g/m2 (one to the waterline, the other overall) follow, plus further strengthening around the waterline, mast-bearing areas, forebeam and engine beds. Below the waterline construction is solid. The hulls are laminated in Scott Bade isophthalic resin and vacuum bagging is used in areas where core materials are present.
Broker's Remarks
Toucan Tango is a 36' Sunstar from Solaris Yachts in Southampton in England, molded in 1993 and launched in 1996, having been upgraded and professionally fitted out, under cover.
The Solaris Sunstar is toughly built. Good bridgedeck clearance and plumb stems obviate slamming. No wave breaker is required as in other well-known designs. The seas roll under the cathedral dome-like profile.
Fixed low-aspect keels with keel shoes, which enable her to dry out when tides permit and great for cleaning the bottom for free.
Epoxy hull barrier coat since new.
Certified VAT paid by HM Customs, i.e., no limits on stays within the E.U.
Recent extensive refit.
