Hull

The hull is made of hand laid fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of hand laid fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The hull is a sandwich construction which improves the indoor climate. Especially when the water is colder than the air in the cabin, then the double hull insulates against cold water and reduce the condense water in the cabin.

Interior

The interior is like nearly all boats made of wood.
The boat is equipped with 3 cabins, 6 berths, a galley, 250.0 liter fresh water capacity and toilet facility.

Keel

Unknown keel type

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.75 - 0.85 meter (2.46 - 2.76 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Engine

Sea Ray 300 Sedan Bridge may be equipped with dual inboard Volvo Penta engines at 400 hp (298 kW). Max speed is 25.0 knots.

The transmission is a shaft drive. A shaft drive will in the long run require less maintenance than other types of drive e.g. a sail drive.

The fuel tank, which is made of stainless steel, has a capacity of 800.0 liters (211 US gallons, 175 imperial gallons).

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

Immersion rate

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Sea Ray 300 Sedan Bridge is about 223 kg/cm, alternatively 1252 lbs/inch.
Meaning: if you load 223 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1252 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
