T590

This boat's potential is amazing, already the performance is exceeding the designers expectations showing great speed both upwind and down. What is most amazing is the upwind speed and height sailing without a jib. The flexible rig is proving its worth and making the boat very easy to sail. The boat has shown good performance in all the wind ranges. Downwind it is just great, moving onto the plane in the low air velocity.

T 850

The T850 is a versatile yacht that has both cruising and racing capabilities. It is lightweight yet very stable due to it's high ballast ratio. It has a lifting or fixed keel depending on the configuration required. The lifting keel version is designed to be fitted to a trailer and can be towed behind a medium sized car. This boat can be built in a variety of materials to suit the builder. Extensive drawings and details are supplied to help with the construction process. A swept two spreader configuration for the rig and a simple deck layout makes the boat easy to sail and handle. The interior has a number of options utilising the four berths and a galley with a full head if required. Extensive analysis has been carried out using the latest design VPP information to ensure performance is second to none for this size boat and is projected to be exciting in particular upwind due in part to the finer hull sections and stability provided by the large bulb. Downwind will be exhilarating with the large easily carried asymmetric spinnakers. Features: Foam or cedar cored construction Carbon fibre or aluminium spars large cockpit with good interior volume Options for interior arrangement Outboard motor in vertical lifting well with remote shift and electric start Asymmetric spinnakers on articulating and retracting prod class rules for one design racing.
