About UsSAPPHiRe YAcHTS

A UK registered company operating throughout Europe via an approved agent network. We are the exclusive European Qualified Master Distributor for the WAHOO Powerboats line.

WAHOO Powerboats have their Head Quarters in the USA - Cleveland, Ohio and are in the business of boat design, manufacturing and distribution, producing some of the most incredible speed boats ever built.

They manufacture their own special mini speed boat line - The “F” series and are currently in the process of finalising both the unique patent pending F-15 “Harley- Davidson®” powered boat and an extremely fuel efficient 27 foot “Cigarette” style powerboat.

PRoDUcTS

WAHOO Powerboats currently manufacture 11, 13 and 15 foot mini speed boats for use with outboard motors. These mini speed boats would be considered the Chevy “Corvettes” or sports cars of the powerboat world.

Unlike a “Jet ski”, which could be viewed like a motorcycle on the water, WAHOO mini speedboats are far safer to operate and have the styling and attraction similar to far more expensive and larger offshore racing boats such as “Cigarette”, “Fountain”, and “Scarab”.

WAHOO have taken this much sought after style and scaled it to a size and price to make it affordable and very attractive to the average consumer. These boats are fast, sleek and compete with the established Jet-Ski and personal watercraft market.

The new 27 footer is a racing styled speed boat similar to the Fountain, Cigarette, Baja, and Scarab, etc.

The detailed specs for each boat can be seen on the Sapphire Yachts website and brochures.

WAHOO Powerboats are continually working on a wide range of products that are in different stages of development and details of these will be available to Agents and Distributors upon completion.

TechnologyWe bUilD THe beST boATS in THe inDUSTRY!

We are sure you have heard this claim from almost every boat builder out there. However when you ask them specifically why their boats are better, most will tell you that their materials and procedures are “trade secrets” and seldom provide specific answers.

Things are different at WAHOO Powerboats. It is our goal to give our customers the best quality boat possible at a reasonable price. To back our claim, we let everyone know exactly how our boats are built.

HoW THeY ARe mADe

Unlike high volume, low quality boat builders that use a “chopper gun” to mass produce boats, WAHOO does not even own a chopper gun. All our boats are hand laid. In addition, instead of low cost “woven roving” we use the more expensive, but considerably lighter knitted bi-axial fiberglass and carbon fibre.

Prior to making a high quality mold, we spend a great deal of time making and working a top quality plug. If you don’t have a top quality plug, you’ll get low quality molds and even worse quality boats from the mold. Prior to making

the mold we make sure all body lines are absolutely “straight” and then wet sanded with only “Mirka” sandpaper from Finland. Wet sanding all the way up to 2000 grit before the plug is polished produces an extremely high gloss even before final polishing with 3M polishing products.

GelcoAT

All WAHOO plugs are finished in black tooling gelcoat from “Duratec” so that even the smallest scratch or wave can be identified and corrected before the mold is made.

WAHOO utilises the most expensive and up-to-date technologies available to produce the absolute finest molds found anywhere in the world. These molds are produced with LHB-3350 Vinylester Hybrid Tooling Gel Coat from HK Research and POLYLITE PROFILE Tooling System (33540) from Reichold with virtually “zero shrinkage” to guarantee the molds will be exact reproductions of the original plug. No chopper gun and certainly no woven roving.

The beginning of a high quality WAHOO speed boat is the gelcoat. After the molds are properly waxed, 18 to 20 mils of “Armorcote” gelcoat is applied from “Cook Composites” the undisputed leader in marine gelcoat technology which will guarantee a glossy finish for years to come.

Page6

When the gelcoat is cured, a layer of chopped strand mat is applied using a “Reichold” chemical, “Hydrex” vinylester resin for excellent surface cosmetics. Most boat companies would then proceed to apply the bulk laminate, however WAHOO Powerboats allows this “skin coat” to thoroughly cure before applying the bulk laminate. By allowing this skin coat to fully cure, any chance of unsightly “print through” is eliminated.

FibReGlASS

The most important part of any fibreglass boat is the bulk laminate; this is what gives the boat its strength. With the exception of a few very expensive offshore power boat companies, the vast majority use woven roving.

Again, WAHOO Powerboats, along with these few select offshore powerboat companies, utilise only “Lloyds and DNV” approved knitted biaxial fiberglass from “VectorPly”, another leader in fiberglass technology. Ounce per ounce, biaxial fiberglass is, by far, stronger than woven roving, due to the fact that it is knitted in a straight line and not woven which also creates voids and pockets that use extra resin to “wet out” the fiberglass.

Not only is the boat stronger with “Biax”, but it needs less resin, so the boat is also lighter. What that means for you, the owner, is better performance as your engine won’t have to work as hard!

The final fiberglass is an average of 3/8” to over 1/2” thick in the keel, where the biax is double layered, to take those pounding shocks from jumping the waves. The hull is then completely flotation foam filled to add extra impact

absorbing strength for rough water capability and to meet stringent US Coast Guard flotation requirements.

The hull features a “pad keel”, which gives less hydrostatic resistance to the water and in turn gives you more speed. There are also 4 full length strakes for great handling and safe manoeuvrability.

THe ReST oF THe boAT

Unlike the mass produced boats that are riveted together, the hull and deck of WAHOO powerboats are through bolted and then “Plexus” adhesive is extensively used to completely bond and seal the two together. This extra step guarantees no water will leak through when experiencing rough water conditions.

The rub rail is screwed on and then sealed with 3M brand “5200” for a perfect seal. All hardware such as the fasteners, lifting eyes, etc. are all marine grade stainless steel.

All wiring consists of corrosion resistant tin plated copper which meets or exceeds NMMA and ABYC standards.

Carpeting and upholstery is made of high grade marine materials for the best in UV resistance.
