Sailboat : cruiser-racer sailing-yacht (open transom)
STIMSON 66 IRC
Mag Marin
- 20m 
65' 7"ft
Touché can be sailed shorthanded by two or three people for coastal cruising, and will be competitive with a racing crew in IRC offshore classics such as the Fastnet, Middle Sea Race and the Giraglia.
Stimson Yachts carefully considered the elements of cost, complexity and performance throughout the design loop, and the end result is a fast, well-appointed yacht, which will be uncomplicated to sail. At the heart of the solution was the adoption of composite construction to minimise structural weight and maximise the ballast ratio.
Strip-plank cedar construction has been specified for hull no.1 Touché's shell. The cost and time required to build the hull are much lower than a composite sandwich laminate, with just a small, but acceptable increase in weight.
Her wooden hull is sheathed with E-glass and epoxy, whilst the deck will be a male moulded vacuum consolidated E-glass/epoxy/PVC foam laminate, all structural engineering has been done by High Modulus.
