BELOW WATERLINE


   
Our technical designers have used their extensive experience and state-of-the-art tools and methods to find the optimal balance between stability, sea-worthiness and speed regarding design, high-tech materials and inter-relationship between hull, rudder and keel. We also put emphasis on a powerful and reliable engine. The hull has been developed to give a maximum waterline (for speed) without sacrificing the smooth timeless lines.
Rudder design and material give the helmsman a feeling of security and stability under all weather conditions, with bow and stern thrusters for joy-stick maneuverability in busy ports.
  The 7 ton keel can dynamically be retracted from its 3.55 m (11.65 ft) racing position to a remarkable 2.50 m (8.20 ft) length allowing for exploration of the most secluded little creek. These features contribute to keeping the displacement at only 20 ton.
With Atlantic crossings in mind we planned a total of 600 l (158 gal) of fresh water and 1000 l (264 gal) of diesel to drive the low consumption Yanmar 150 HP engine.
