The Antrim 25 is another fine example of Jim Antrim's world class design. The Antrim 25 offers great performance and features which can't be found on other boats of this size. The Antrim 25 is a dry, comfortable sportboat that can be raced with a crew of just three. This lightweight, trailerable boat was designed and built to standards that meet any open coastal water conditions.
The Antrim 25 offers a wide range of standard features, starting with a carbon rig (mast and boom). Its unique retractable keel, gel-coat finished surfaces, internal flotation tanks, furling jib, and Harken hardware are just a few reasons why the Antrim 25 is setting the bar for sportboats. The hull and decks are built with the finest materials - like hand laid balsa and foam cores - all with precise vacuum bagged conditions. Unidirectional carbon fiber reinforcements are used at critical load points throughout, resulting in light weight strength for hull and deck rigidity. |

With its innovative design, the Antrim 27 is perfect for the weekend sailing enthusiast who demands both the performance of a sportboat and the overnight cruising comforts found on larger boats. The Antrim 27 is a stable, upright performer capable of handling a wide range of sailing conditions. It will delight you as a spirited coastal adventurer; or it can be raced with a crew of four or five men or women of any age and experience. The deck-mounted articulating bowsprit allows total cockpit comfort and keeps the interior dry and uninterrupted.
With the Antrim 27, we included some of the great features found on our Ultimate 20 to create an innovative craft with lots of space and plenty of extras. The Antrim's retractable keel provides versatility for ramp launching in shallow water areas. And, with a convenient winch that can raise the keel to a draft of just 3', 4", the Antrim 27 allows you to venture where shallow water is a concern.
Dry storage and trailering have become a common practice, and at just 2,600 pounds, the Antrim 27 is light and manageable, both on and off the water. Its light weight and the low trailer profile provided by its retracted keel means you can easily tow the Antrim 27 behind most 6- or 8-cylinder passenger vehicles. |

The Open 30 Class was conceived in 2000 to fill the gap in the market for short handed offshore racing boats between the Open 6.5 and the Open 40. The class is thriving across the Atlantic in South America (the head office of the Open 30 Class Association is in Argentina) and in North America and Europe. Some of the most innovative designers have applied their magic to this class which is designed according to a "box rule".
The rules of the Open 30 Class are open; anything not specifically prohibited, limited or imposed, is permitted. The rules are administered by the Open30 Class Association. Measuring is self administering. The owner of the boat shall be responsible for submitting the correct information to the Open30 Class Association. The basic class rules are:
LOA not to exceed 30 ft (9.14m) This measurement excludes all appendices and all items of fittings.
In light procedure, the draught is limited to 2.5m from the flotation plane
Maximum beam, including all deck fittings shall be no more than 3.5m
The measurement of the bottom of the keel to the top of the highest sail shall to be more than 17.5m
Freeboard average to be not less than 0.90m
Cabin top is mandatory with a minimum volume specified.
The structure of the boat to withstand the forces of races classified by ORC in category 1. Structural calculations to ISO 9000 norms.
The total flotation reserve not to be less than 2sqm. Core material to be included in calculation.
Escape hatch in the transom is required.
Water ballast tanks and adjustable keel arrangements are allowed.
AVS not less than 125 degrees.
Materials with a greater density than lead are prohibited.
The VG Open30 was designed by Van Gorkom Yacht Design based in Newport, RI. Van Gorkom predicts a speed of 19 knots in 25 knots of wind at 120 degrees true wind angle in his VPP analysis of his Open 30 design.
At about 14 knots of true wind speed, the Van Gorkom design will start breaking loose and the boat should start planing by 20 knots of wind at an estimated boat speed of between 16 and 18 knots. She has a displacement/length ratio of 128 and a sail area/displacement ratio of 34 upwind and a massive downwind SA/DSPL ratio of 82. |

The smaller boat of the range Rimar but with the same characteristics of resistance, elegance and performances of the greater sisters.
RIMAR 31,3 is a boat conceived for the comfortable cruise but with the possibility to catch up also optimal veliche performances for who it loves a sport navigation.
The blanket is characterized from the tuga wide that agrees again aesthetically with paramare of the trap in harmonic way with winning lines offering therefore a good inner height without to penalize the esthetic one, the blanket equipment supplied from the yard is of optimal quality.

Though classic sailing boats are generally considered in this day and age to be heavy and slow, we also find some wonderful examples of light displacement and seaworthy boats from the drawing boards of some of the doyens of classic yacht design. Laurent Giles, Uffa Fox and Ricus van der Stadt come to mind. The Royal Cape One Design designed by Van der Stadt in the 1950's is a thirty footer that still holds some coastal records in South Africa and recently came third on handicap in the Cape to Bahia South Atlantic race. The boat, Suidoos, is half the age of the eighty years old skipper, Gawie Fagan. The seaworthiness of this design is unquestionable and her performance awesome. With lightness comes ease of sail handling, getting out of troubled spots fast and lower costs associated with smaller equipment.
Her light displacement, long waterline, flat aft sections, submerged transom, relatively narrow beam and large sail area, ensure both speed as well as easy handling in rough seas. The easy curvature and straightness of the diagonals indicate to a well-balanced and fast hull. Her fine entry angle and narrow beam will make her cut through the water on a beat with ease. Her displacement/length ratio is below 100 and her sail area/displacement ratio of just over 26 will ensure good light wind performance and exhilarating performance in a breeze. She should be fun to sail, easy to sail and maneuver, safe and strong and, above all simple in function and form.
She accommodates a couple and is my ideal boat for cruising in the Mediterranean. The large sail area can be reduced with the slab reefing and a roller-furling jib. She is also an ideal daysailer with her large cockpit that accommodates four adults with ease.
The preferred building method is wood composite with Western red cedar core and epoxy glassed inside and out. The rest is marine ply and epoxy glass. We can also build her with a core-cell core. She is constructed on CNC cut male frames. In addition, the bulkheads and furniture create a strong monocoque structure. Vacuum bagging and post-curing guarantee a light and strong boat. Despite the fact that scantlings are over specified, the painted hull, for example, weighs only 340 kg. Lightness and strength is emphasized. The styling is classic with a strong shear line, low freeboard, Mahogany cabin sides, tiller, toe rails, hand rails and cockpit coamings. The deck is painted with anti-slip paint (Awlcraft or similar). An over specified welded steel keel foil with bolted on lead bulb and a hard-wood core with epoxy glass rudder, gives peace of mind. All foils and the bulb are NACA sections optimized for maximum lift and reduced drag. The transom-hung rudder is balanced.
Moondance 30 has a well balanced 9/10th rig placed towards the center of the boat with single swept-back spreaders (22 degrees). The small 105% jib and the large fully battened main assists in ease of handling the sails. A large Code "O" will ensure excellent broad reaching. She should be able to generate sufficient apparent wind to make dead running obsolete. She comes with a small storm jib and the main can be reefed to 12 sqm for gale force winds. Her Dellenbaugh angle of 17 degrees will, nevertheless, make her quite stiff. |

Comet 33 is an ideal compromise between racing and cruising.
She spots a nine tenth fractional rig completely manageable from the cockpit, with sweptback spreaders, and a powerful hull with stretched and well balanced water lines, a large transom and reduced overhangs.
Optimised appendages for a sensitive boat; anodised mast with a very low weight/length ratio; Harken deck fittings; AISI 316 stainless steel deck gear.
All makes of Comet 33 a competitive racer, and all has been carefully studied to optimise her performance. A boat, which easily will give funny and exciting sailing while racing, even able to surprise as a cruiser. |
