2010 San Juan SJ40FB IPS

The SJ40FB hull has been designed and computer modeled to be both handsomely styled and capable in a broad range of sea conditions. The traditional flared bow with fine entry and tumble home aft is complemented by the hydro-dynamically efficient underbody. Tooling for the entire boat was modeled and cut by a computer controlled 5-axis router creating the most fair and precise parts available in the industry when she was built. The JS40FB hull is formed using a Kevlar / E-glass and Corecell foam core composite infused with vinyl ester resin. Dupont Kevlar / E-glass hybrid is used to greatly increase the strength of hull against damage caused by impact. The infusion process yields strong lightweight parts with high glass to resin ratios. The core is removed and replaced with solid glass and extra laminations in areas of major penetrations and high stress. Three composite watertight structural bulkheads separate the hull into damage control zones with dedicated bilge pumps. Structural bulkheads are built using Corecell foam core with E-glass skins infused with vinyl ester resin. Longitudinal and transverse stringers are an E-Glass Corecell foam core composite. The entire structure of the boat is built using wood free composites. The hull is panted with Alexseal LPU Marine finish

The Deck is a one piece infused composite molding using E-Glass Corecell with vinyl ester resin. The hull is joined to the deck using and engineered flanged box joint and is bonded using a high strength adhesive with mechanical fasteners. This provides a permanent, watertight hull/ deck joint.

The large cockpit was designed to allow ample room for sitting, dining, fishing and sunbathing. An opening walk through transom door provides easy access on and off the boat via the swim step.  The built-in transom seat provides both seating and underside bin storage. Storage bins are removable to provide additional storage space below in the lazarette.  The centerline bin may be used as a cooler or may be set up as bait locker as an option for fishing.  Sitting and sunbathing space is also available on the port and starboard engine compartment boxes with hatches that lift with the aid of lifting cylinders for engine access. Engine compartment hatches are supplied with teak decking. A starboard side stainless steel ladder with teak treads provides access to the flybridge. Cockpit stair with port and starboard hardware provide access to the side decks. The cockpit deck is molded with 1” waterways.  Teak decking is used in the cockpit, pilothouse and on the composite swim step.  A flush hatch in the deck provides easy access to the engines.  Port and starboard cockpit bulwark lockers allow for storage of fenders and mooring lines.

Teak toe-rails and solid stainless steel half-round guards are fastened through the hull and deck flange.  Six polished stainless steel deck cleats are provided for bow, stern, and spring lines along with custom stainless steel bow and midship chocks and chafe guards.  A stainless steel deck fuel fill is located starboard side amidships.  The water tank fill and holding tank dump are located on the starboard side forward.  50 Amp power receptacles are mounted port and starboard. The foredeck anchor handling system consists of a stainless steel bow roller with a 22 lb. stainless steel “Bruce type” anchor and 20 feet of 5/16”galvanized chain spliced to 200 feet of 9/16” nylon rope.  A Muir anchor windlass is controlled at the bow and both helms.  A Lewmar Low Profile 40 deck hatch is located over the forward stateroom.  Four opening stainless steel portlights with screens provide ventilation to the cabin area.  A stainless flagpole with stainless steel socket is supplied aft with a stainless steel flagpole supplied forward at the bow. Four stainless steel handrails provide hand holds when moving forward on the side decks. A stainless steel bow rail is installed forward.
