The Enavigo Cutter is a combination of traditional design with modern equipment and production technology, which guarantees a long lifespan and extraordinary hull strength. Traditional characteristics like cutter rig and a long keel are complemented by a more modern approach to the underwater hull shape, making blue-water cruising on Enavigo a comfortable and safe proposition in any sea conditions. Although not intended to be a racing boat, many would be surprised how quick a well-designed long keel can be.
The ideas for the 17m Classic Yacht / Enavigo 56 are to design a nice looking yacht in the spirit of the traditional yachts with maximum elegance and high performance. A yacht created for optimum sailing pleasure and a pleasure to look at, without compromise.
To achieve this we will take full advantage of the modern materials and technology. This means a modern below waterline profile with a deep fin / bulb keel and high aspect spade rudder. For the hull construction is chosen wood core method; western red cedar strip planking covered with UD glass fibres in epoxy.
This guarantees a light displacement boat and together with a carbon fibre mast it will be a very powerful boat that can carry a lot of sail area.
For the deck the craftsmanship of a classic yacht will be used with a small cabin top in style to get the right look.
Advanced construction techniques bring together the beauty of mahogany with the strength and durability of fibreglass. Beneath the fine wooden mahogany surface of this 10 meter long tender is the fibreglass sandwich construction hull, built in modern hightech vacuum, easily capable of handling rough weather conditions. The tender is completely custom built and is designed especially to the owner's wishes.
