The yellow deck increases visibility in case of an air search. The black hull on the
other hand increases the changes to get spotted from the bridge of a large ship
when the weather turns bad and the sea turns white from the foam and spray
(c) Bagheera-sailing
The entire hull, deck and big parts of the bottom are insulated with an 8 to 12 cm
thick layer of two component foam to keep the boat warm and free of condensation.
The foam is fire resistant and therefore in case of a fire, it would slow down and contain it.

40 degrees temperature difference between inside and outside is not a problem
at all. (c) Bagheera-sailing
The staysail will be used in medium to heavy weather, the top is
covered in a fluor orange patch of 6 sqm. to increase the
chance of being sighted by other vessels. (c) Bagheera-sailing
For the same reason as the orange patch on the staysail, the
storm jib and the trysail are made of fluor orange sail cloth.
