Cruising sailboat Flaar 24

racing1-cabincarbon

After 15 years of performance-oriented boat design, we decided to design a boat that could respond to the decreasing number of available berths on Lake Balaton, a boat with reduced maintenance costs, but also not compromise on racing (e.g., solo sailing in 8M Open class) and cruising. The design team (boat design: Attila Déry, design: Tamás Bendzsel) created a boat optimised for lakes, and this aim can be seen in the shape of the hull, the design of the swing-keel, the rig and sail design, and the ergonomics of the interior and deck. A special feature of the boat is that the keel can be hoisted without any external means (crane, lifting frame) and without the need for human power, using an electric actuator. It can therefore also be used in shallow water and/or water with seaweed (no bulb) and is mobile due to its easy hauling: it can be easily transported and even kept ashore without the need for a mooring. Its interior space can comfortably accommodate four people, making it perfectly suitable for touring. Flexible motorisation is a great help: it can be fitted with a built-in electric motor or an outboard motor. Outstanding performance Carbon composite hull and mast Low drag body shape Modern, highly variable sails Diamond stowage for a narrower JIB Shore storage, road transportability Easy to launch Low empty weight of only 750 kg Easy assembly and disassembly Retractable rudders Swinging-keel with electric actuation No route permit required for transport
