This is the latest large custom performance cruising yacht design from Owen Clarke. A long distance blue water cruiser created as a cruiser racer to be equally at home at superyacht bucket regattas, luxurious family cruising in the Med. or making a trans-oceanic passage to the Caribbean. She is based on a larger OC 40m design and was developed in response to a client who requested similar features, accommodation and styling on a smaller platform. Modern, functional, and capable of fast passage making, as well as being a luxurious home at anchor in remote bays for significant periods.
The appendages combine the latest in modern thinking, employ reliable technology, evolutions from Owen Clarke’s race boat development work. The carbon-Nomex hull shows its Open Class pedigree, both voluminous inside and can be sailed at more comfortable, lower angles of heel, compared to conventional designs. The dreadnought bow offers maximum waterline length, reduces the yacht’s displacement to length ratio and provides a safer secure deck space to handle gennakers. Mooring and particularly anchoring is simplified without the additional complication of dealing with a bowsprit.
The sail plan is powerful and controllable, set on a carbon rig that incorporates the latest developments in short-handed sail handling technology, scaled up and applied to the challenges faced on modern superyachts. There is a two-speed hydraulic furler at the bow for both top down furling spinnakers as well as furling code sails and jib tops. The high aspect ratio non-overlapping jib is set well back on its own dedicated hydraulic furler. A Staysail and an ORC storm sail with individual tack positions are spaced along the foredeck with separate mast locks and removable furling stays.
The deck saloon consists of a dining area for eight private), ten (charter), with sofa seating area and bar. The graphic illustrates a four-cabin layout in which the owner’s suite features a private lounge dining area and an adjoining stateroom. The guest area forward extends as far as the mast, with the raised main saloon dominating mid-ships. In line with practical and seamanlike aspects of the design this area includes a navigation/watch keeping station with the same panoramic views afforded to the guests for dining and relaxing. There is a five-cabin alternative interior for private or charter use.
