A client in the nautical industry approached Rhino, Inc. in need of a rotationally molded sailboat hull and outriggers. The hull and outriggers would be key components of a high performance recreational sailboat. In addition to part production, Rhino performed mold maintenance upon receipt of the tool to correct some manufacturing issues that had plagued the former molder. Secondary operations included post mold trimming, hatch trim and fit-up, and cleat/accessory assembly. Special features incorporated were a molded in aluminum outrigger and rudder sleeves and multi-color mold-in graphics.
The hull was 192 inches long, 40 inches high, 24 inches wide and weighed 100 pounds. We worked within tolerances of +/- .144 inches. The material used was medium density linear polyethylene. The deck had a high-texture finish applied for an anti-slip foothold, and the hull was hand polished providing a smooth as glass surface, eliminating unnecessary drag.
Once our team completed production and inspection, the product was delivered to the client, who was completely pleased with all aspects of Rhino's work. To learn more about this project, or for more information on our other products and services, please contact Rhino, Inc.
