We are talking about a truly fast saiboat. Not an IRC/ORC “optimized” floating caravan….

Enjoy gliding at 8…10…15 kts with ease, comfort and safety. Max boat speed are expected to be well over 20kts!

This is how it is possible:

Super powered:

• Sail area /Displacement^2/3 =  33.12 for upwind (D=6.3t, Upwind SA = 113m² )
  • Sail area /Displacement^2/3= 66.84 for downwind. (D=6.3t,  Downwind SA=228 m²)

Optimized hull:

• Flat hull shape optimized for planing both upwind and downwind
• Pronounced rocker => minimal drag in light airs + bow up when sailing downwind in strong breeze

Optimized rigging:

• Mast positioned far aft and relatively tall (taller than the mast of the Pogo50!)
• High aspect square top mainsail (short boom but tall mast)
• Bigger front sails: Genoa, Code0 and Spis

Interior and exterior comfort that you can only find in much bigger yachts.

Interiors: 4 cabins, 2 WC with shower, hot water, full kitchen, fridge, storage, excellent ventilation

Deck: Large and unobstructed cockpit, cockpit table, cockpit shower, low diving platform

Sailing fast does not have to be uncomfortable!

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.)
• Keel pivots backwards to absorb a grounding shock
• Structures naval yard construction quality

Stability:

• Very low center of gravity – below the hull. 1.95 out of the 2.1tons of total keel weight,  located at the lowest part from -2m to -3.1m.
• Keel/Displacement ratio is at 2.1/5.9=36.4% (most cruising yachts have <30% , most racer/cruisers are rarely above 35%)
• Significant righting moment
  • Form stability (4.5m beam compared to ~4.0m in conventional boats of similar length)
  • 3.1m deep keel
  • max righting moment of 6.5tm @ 45^o or equivalently max righting arm of 1.09m (Most racer/cruisers are rarely above 0.8m…)
  • AVS (angle of vanishing stability) = 115^o, with keel down
• 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

Un-sinkability:

• Buoyancy foam below front and aft cabins
• Watertight aft and bow crash compartments

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
• Cockpit table folds and becomes a long inox handle with rounded edges to protect the crew
• Banks protect 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

We are talking about a truly fast saiboat. Not an IRC/ORC “optimized” floating caravan….

Enjoy gliding at 8…10…14 kts with ease, comfort and safety.

This is how it is possible:

Super powered:

• Sail area /Displacement 2/3 = 31.72 for upwind (D=2.8t, Upwind SA = 63m² )
• Sail area /Displacement 2/3 = 65.19 for downwind. (D=2.8t, Downwind SA=129.5 m²)
• 200lt of water ballast in each side for extra power and stability

Optimized hull:

• Flat hull shape optimized for planing both upwind and downwind
• Pronounced rocker => minimal drag in light airs + bow up when sailing downwind in strong breeze
• Low drag from the innovative stealth drive hiding completely the propeller

Have a look at the polar diagrams.Certainly Polar Diagrams are theoretical predictions assuming certain “ideal” conditions (perfect trimming, sails’ conditions, steering etc). However, they do provide however a useful tool when it comes to comparing yachts.

Double digit boat speed sensations are now for everybody!

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

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
