Specifications

LIDO 14

Standard Description

HULL

The hull is 100% hand laid up fiberglass. It is engineered and built to yield strength and rigidity with reinforcement in areas where large loads may be exerted. A high gloss gel coat is used in the hull.

DECK

The deck is also 100% hand laid up fiberglass. Wood, foam, and additional fiberglass laminations are applied in load bearing areas. The deck is attached to the hull with a continuous bond for high strength.

STANDARD COLOR

The standard color of the hull is white. The deck is light gray to minimize glare. The waterline can be either red or blue. A full range of colors for the hull and waterline are available as options.

HARDWARE

A stainless steel bow fitting and mast hinge are standard. The mast hinge makes raising and lowering the mast extremely easy. Ronstan cam cleats are used for the jib sheets. The mainsheet is trimmed with a Harken combination ratchet block and cam cleat swivel. The shroud adjusters make set-up fast and easy. A Harken eye strap is installed in the transom for the aft line of the optional lifting sling. The forward lines of the sling go to the deck eyes at the shrouds. 

CENTERBOARD

The centerboard is constructed of fiberglass to a high aspect, hydrodynamic foil. The board is suspended by a fiberglass cassette that is inserted into the trunk. This cassette, a new addition to the 2005 model year Lido 14s, is a single unit made of fiberglass and carbon. The center of the trunk cap is open so you can see the centerboard.

RUDDER

The rudder blade is constructed of fiberglass. The rudder head and tiller are anodized aluminum. A tiller extension is included.

SPARS AND RIGGING

The mast and boom are silver anodized. Vinyl-covered 1 x 19 stainless steel shrouds help keep the sails clean. Adjustable diamond spreaders stiffen the mast. The main and jib halyards are dacron yacht braid. Hybrid stretch resistant halyards are available as an option. Colored lines are standard. There is a whisker pole pad eye on the mast. A 2:1 outhaul makes sail adjustment easy, as does the 3:1 boom vang.
