Nautor Swan’s latest one design race boat prioritizes simplicity, quality, and speed in a compact model. Drawn up by Juan Kouyoumdjian, it’s designed to be crewed by four or five sailors and will excel in medium to light wind. The rig is carbon with no backstay. Instead, mast bend and head stay tension are adjusted via hydraulics. The boat is set up with a full kite retrieval system, including a sliding hatch in the bow for fast, clean douses. Main, jib, AP kite, and reaching kite are all standard. The boat is trailerable thanks to a lifting keel, improving its potential as a one design fleet since these boats are sure to regularly travel farther than they would realistically be delivered on their own bottoms. The hull and deck are an E-glass/epoxy infusion laminate. The boat debuted in September at the Rolex Swan Cup.
