Did you know our boats don't have a hull-to-deck joint? We don't make our yachts like other manufacturers, we make them better, stronger, and to last longer. One of the ways we distinguish our yachts from the mass-produced yachts is the way we join the hull to the deck. Some manufacturers bond the hull to the deck with structural adhesive, some bond and use screws, some bond and bolt. We are one of a few manufacturers who bond and then laminate the deck to the hull. Doing this makes the hull stronger; the hull and the deck become a single, strong structure. It is easier and quicker to fit the interior of a yacht before the deck is attached, but doing this means that the deck will have to be joined with the bulkheads and some of the interior in place - this makes the join harder to access. We join the hull and deck as one of the first parts of the build process; the whole join can be laminated and we know there will be no voids. We then build our yachts with the deck attached; everything for the interior - the bulkheads, every item you see in the interior, including the engine - comes through the companionway or the roof in the deck saloon. #WeAreSirius #SiriusWerft #Sirius #siriusyachts #Yacht #Yachting #Sailing #Sailboat #Decksaloon #decksalon #BluewaterCruiser #OffshoreCruiser #LiftingKeel #Twinkeel #BilgeKeel #Handbuilt #Sailingyacht #Sailingboat #BlueWaterSailing #GoAnywhereCruiser #Swingkeel #OceanSailing #Circumnavigation #DreamYacht #Segeln #SailingLife #SailingLifeStyle #LiveABoard #SailingInstagram #YachtingWorld

24 May 2022, the crew on Steinlager 2 welcomed 24 students and teachers, from Otahuhu College, onboard for two days and one night. These trips are incredibly action packed. It's a case of, 'hold on to your hats crew, we have lots to do'. As per every school we strive to deliver the right balance of teaching sailing, having fun and making lasting memories. Phew.. Sailing, leadership, laughing, team building games on shore and onboard, swimming, kayaking, laughing, cooking and cleaning. We even managed a sleep in there! ? The Viaduct, Motuihe Island, hoisted all three sails and had a magic sunset sail, gliding up around Rakino and the Noises Islands into Waikalabubu Bay, Motutapu Island for dinner and the night. After the clean up next morning, a very stimulating, exhilarating short blast (sail) back to more games on shore on the NE side of Motuihe Island. We delivered a buzzing bunch of good sorts, later that afternoon back to the Viaduct. ALL OF THIS was very very kindly funded by the Auckland Maritime Foundation. ??
