Kuka Light è un progetto del 2012 dell’ amico Franco Niggeler con Mitch Boot come skipper. E’ stato un progetto davvero all’ avanguardia per le soluzioni costruttive.
Una barca da 40′ costruita interamente in carbonio in autoclave in Svezia presso il cantiere Marstrom e assemblata in Italia dai Cantieri Soleri, lo stesso di +39.
Per Kuka light abbiamo prodotto la chiglia in carbonio, il bulbo di kg. 1.000 fresato a CNC e tutti i particolari meccanici in acciai speciali e in titanio, relativi alla movimentazione canting della chiglia.L’albero in carbonio uscito dagli stampi dell’ albero del catamarano Extreme 40, sempre prodotto da Marstrom in Svezia, ha completato la fornitura di questa barca super leggera che in andature portanti teneva testa ai VOR 70′.
Kuka Light is a 2012 project by my friend Franco Niggler, featuring Mitch Boot as a skipper. An avant-garde project for constructive solutions, a 40’ boat was built entirely in carbon. It was produced in an autoclave in Sweden at the Marstrom shipyard, and assembled in Italy by Cantieri Soleri, just like the +39. For this project, we produced the carbon keel and a 1000 kilogram bulb, CNC milled and all mechanical details crafted in special steel and titanium which related to the canting movement of the keel. The carbon mast that used the Extreme 40 catamaran mast, was also produced by Marstrom in Sweden. This mast completed the supply of this lightweight boat which stood up to the. VOR 70’ in downwind speed.
