Performance

Comfort

Interior and exterior comfort that you can only find in much bigger yachts. Very carefully and smartly designed interiors.

Interiors: 3 cabins, WC, full kitchen, fridge, storage, excellent ventilation

Deck: Ergonomic cockpit, cockpit shower, storage, elastic pads for comfort

Sailing fast does not have to be uncomfortable!

Safety

Absolute safety. Sail relaxed, feel and be safe at all times, no compromise on that! Safety comes from 5 basic characteristics: Robust structure, Stability, Unsinkability, Offshore design, Speed potential

Robust structure:

• Hull reinforced both longitudinally and transversally
• All bulkheads are structurally integrated
• Extra reinforcement on highly stressed areas of hull and deck (winches, rudder pits, engine etc.)
• Construction quality

Stability:

• Very low center of gravity thanks to the 2.2m deep torpedo keel weighing 0.9t (out of total 2.8t)
• Keel/Displacement ratio is at 0.9/2.8=32.14%
• Significant righting moment
  • Form stability
  • 200kg of water ballast
  • 2.2m deep keel
  • pronounced chines for additional righting moment
• Twin rudders inclined to leeward.
  • Always a rudder fully submerged for control.
  • Rudder stands ~vertical => no hydrodynamic lift => steering is always soft and responsive
  • When downwind both the rudders in the water => extra stability.
  • When upwind only one of the rudders remains submerged => reduced drag

Offshore design:

• All controls and manoeuvres are cockpit lead.
• All winches are close to the cockpit’s central axis. The crew does not have to lean towards the yacht’s extremity for monoeuvring
• Banks inclined and with comfortable pads from incoming waves
• Open aft section for immediate drainage in case a wave breaks into the cockpit.
• Watertight sliding door is not the classic detachable panel type, but always in place, and ready to be closed at any time
• Life-raft is stored permanently within the cockpit for immediate access and safe deployment in case of emergency

Speed: Being fast is an element of safety per se:

• reach shelter quickly
• escape from a weather front
