Launched in December in Slovenia ( see below vidio)  for a U.S. client, this performance design combines the casual elegance of an east coast day sailer with the power and speed of a dedicated racer to produce the ultimate weekender.  Laid out for shorthanded day sailing the light displacement, large sail plan, and deep keel can deliver race boat levels of performance when desired, but will always give fast smooth good manners.  Bringing the high quality prediction tools we have developed on our successful race boats to a performance cruiser/racer gives owners a level of assurance regarding handling and performance that modern classic designs have not seen before.

Drawn with one eye on the classic day sailers of the U.S. east coast, we blended the styling with a modern hull shape derived from our latest racing designs, and emphasised the basic components of high performance, starting with the longer waterline provided by a plumb bow, improving the speed potential by around 15% for the same LOA relative to an overhanging bow.  The hull shape maintains low wetted surface at smaller angles of heel for good light-air speed, but gains stability quickly when heeled.  This combines with the deep lifting keel to ensure high stability without heavy displacement.  Bringing in engineering partner SDK to produce high quality composite engineering was key to ensuring a stiff light structure.

The distribution of space on board reflects the weekender brief from the client: a focus on comfortable high performance day sailing combined with the ability to spend a few nights on board, perhaps in a scenic anchorage.    This inspired the large open cockpit with a 4 winch layout allowing two to sail the boat easily, many more to cruise and socialise comfortably, or when racing with friends to compete successfully even offshore.  The svelte coach roof offers the necessary headroom over the sizable saloon and galley, without visually compromising the sleek simplicity of its day sailor heritage.

The carbon mast and park avenue boom ensure the lightest weight and lowest VCG, which with the long fixed bowsprit carries a balanced yet powerful sail plan.
