1983 Santa Cruz 5015m

The SC 50 hull and deck are hand laminated of multiple layers of fiberglass mat and roving impregnated with polyester resin. Vacuum bagged balsa core provides stiffness and strength without unnecessary weight. The deck is cored with inserts in areas of high stress. The hull and deck are bonded with polyester adhesive and in Horizon this has also been glassed over both internally and externally for additional strength and stiffness. All deck hardware is through bolted with backing plates & many of the higher loaded systems having G-10 inserts through the core.

The keel for this SC-50+ is a solid lead casting bolted to the keel sump with 1” keel bolts. Faired and permanently covered in fiberglass, the keel is bonded to the hull for extra strength, stiffness and crunch-protection. Keel, upgraded rudder and bottom have been faired and long-boarded.

Interior cabinetry and bulkheads are bonded directly to the hull and there are no floating bulkheads and no liners. Woodwork is beautifully finished with natural Bruynzeel Teak plywood of the highest quality. We’ve recently painted the overhead in flat white and all interior varnish and paint has been redone. The interior is original but looks like new.
