Naval Architect: Manuard YD
Interior Design: Sito
Concept & R&D: Seascape
Performance: Featuring ultimate performance and high-tech building technologies including a very light, modern vacuum-infused vinyl-ester hull, composite-built swinging keel with lead bulb, carbon-fibre rig, and excessive sail area, delivering the promised performance of the Seascape Edition.
Ease of Use: Well-thought cockpit ergonomics, minimized controls, carbon mast without a backstay, light but precise steering system, and stable hull that significantly simplify boat handling solo, double-handed, or fully crewed.
Safety: The boat is unsinkable, the swinging keel protects the structure if you hit the ground, and twin rudders ensure complete control, providing safe exploration of sailing limits.
Racing: Suitable for classical windward-leeward races or adventure distance races, single or double-handed, with an international owners' community.
Mobility: Light structure and swinging keel system enable easy road transportation, easy handling of the light carbon mast, and independence from on-land facilities due to provisional mast crane and simple launching.
Sailing Experience: Fast sailing in strong and light wind conditions with excellent sail area to displacement ratio, downwind planing in stronger breezes due to stable hull, deep ballasted keel, and twin rudders. Spacious, open, and ergonomic cockpit for solo, double-handed, or fully-crewed setups.
Living Onboard: Minimalistic and weight-sensitive interior providing all key amenities expected on a modern 7.30 m high-performance racer. The open-space saloon can sleep up to 4 adults with a V-berth and extendable side beds, removable crew bags for storage, indoor/outdoor table usable in saloon and cockpit, dedicated place for chemical toilette, and large-volume technical storage accessible outside. Interior components also function as parts of the boat structure and can be modularly reduced for racing.
Community: International Owners Community and events calendar for long-distance challenges and one-design regattas with supportive, like-minded sailors.
A Connected Boat: Compatible with the Seanapps mobile application and onboard unit for monitoring boat system status, planning routes, and reviewing sailing status via smartphone.
