PERFORMANCE

This boat was built with fully crewed regattas in mind, and its deck ergonomics have been studied and developed to help you achieve your best results. With equipment and systems that are geared towards racing, you'll find everything you need to stay ahead of the competition. One standout feature is the foam non-skid surfaces that replace the teak on the cockpit sole, which provides extra grip and stability even when the boat is heeling over. Additionally, the six well-placed winches and conventional mainsail traveller make it easy to adjust your sails and maintain control even in the most challenging conditions
