Construction and Details
The hull and deck are built using resin infusion over a sandwich structure with multi-axial fiberglass skins, impregnated with vinylester resin. This ensures both lightness and excellent structural rigidity.

Designed from the outset as the best possible compromise between performance, onboard comfort, and safety. Conceived to handle generous displacement without sacrificing seaworthiness, it finds its balance in fast offshore cruising. Special care has been taken to limit draft without compromising righting moment
Standard across all versions to allow easy rigging of any downwind sail. Available in various lengths
Capable of delivering high performance without requiring constant fine-tuning of sails and trim settings
Special attention has been given to ensuring it is fully walkable in complete safety, even in rough sea conditions. The result is an exceptionally clean layout, free of steps and obstacles, with high-traction surface
Spacious, unobstructed for crew movement, and well-protected for safe and relaxed sailing, even with a reduced crew
