TBOAT T650

A great Club Racer that puts you up against with the big boys, inviting many stories for the post match function, exhilarating to sail, a fun project to build.

Designed as a fun trailed club racer that is cheap and easy to build. The Thompson T650 is designed to have sailing characteristics like its big brother the Thompson 8 Meter, powerful upwind and reaching performance with large asymmetric spinnakers to take it down wind at speed. Low wetted surface and a high ballast ratio makes sure this design is capable of winning races in all wind and sea conditions.

Rigged with a double swept spreader decked stepped carbon fibre mast, running backstays or topmast stays are not required. The boom is a rolled aluminium tube and the retractable prod is made from carbon fibre.

Sails are designed to cater for all wind ranges and angles with one mainsail, three jibs and two asymmetric spinnakers.
