DESIGN TECH
Due to the reduced weight of the main structure and carefully chosen gear, we are able to design an efficient, fast, easily driven hull that gives a feeling under sail only achieved by the lightest, stiffest boats. The ability to sail in only a few knots of wind minimises the need to motor.
Long, slim bows are flared inboard giving reserve buoyancy if driven hard in waves, plus additional space in the hulls.
The centre of buoyancy is located aft of the middle of the hulls, with weight concentration of heavier equipment strictly close to midships to reduce pitching. Shaft drive engines are moved forward with water and diesel tanks located just aft of the mast, below cabin soles to lower the centre of gravity. Optimum hull rocker starts further forward.
High bridge deck shifted aft, with the bow section proportionately lengthened, to reduce slamming. Hull freeboard is kept low to reduce windage and excess weight.
High aspect boards are essential for upwind pointing ability and speed. Our inward angled, carbon boards can be raised for downwind balance, making the autopilot’s job easier and more reliable. Raised boards increase safety in squalls and waves by allowing the boat to slide sideways.
Twin, outboard helms offer clear visibility when sailing or docking, without looking through windows. The versa helm option allows the pedestals to hinge inboard to protected steering positions within the cockpit.
DESIGN TECH
Lines led back, with winches close to the wheels for safe single-handed manoeuvres.
The mast is mounted 50% aft to create a large foretriangle space for a staysail, headsail and Code sails. It reduces the mainsail area, for easier handling and reefing. The mainsheet track is located on the transom beam for optimum stiffness and weight saving.
Structural longeron provides a tack point aft of the forestay for the staysail – and an integrated bowsprit for Code and downwind sails.
Curved forward cross beam for increased stiffness and, importantly, to increase wave clearance in adverse conditions. Both longeron and forward beam are laminated into the hull structure for maximum stiffness.
Multiple safety features including crash bulkheads in the bow sections and forward of the rudders – sealed watertight compartments to contain flooding and give potential for the boat to sail to safety – life raft stowage integrated into the longeron for rapid deployment.

DESIGN comfort
Sliding cockpit doors open 2m wide to create a large, 6.3m long living space with single level floor, whilst retaining all the central structure required for stiffness, without need for heavy reinforcement.
Significant attention has been paid to creating panoramic visibility from the saloon and cockpit, whether standing or sitting.
Sofas and dining spaces both inside and outside for quality of life, whatever the weather – on passage and at anchor.
Large galley with exceptional worktop and stowage space for this sector – and amazing views.
Design Comfort
Forward facing chart table with large instrument panel.
Plenty of ventilation throughout the boat, including four large opening window hatches at the forward end of the saloon for air-flow at anchor.
Topsides widen significantly above the waterline to create volume in the hulls for queen size beds and ample stowage space. The starboard owner’s hull includes a large bathroom forward, along with practical wet locker and washing machine spaces.
Convertible port forward cabin for interchangeable set-up in double bed, twin bunks or workshop/storage modes.
