BUILDER Wrace Boats


FIRST LAUNCH COMMENTS April 2018


Evolution of the successful Wrace GP26. New larger square-top mainsail and extended boom and larger spinnaker with extended sprit. The deck layout is revised with a smaller deckhouse, equipment refinements and a spinnaker takedown system

A well thought-through entry into the trailerable tri market with length kept just under 28ft to meet EU trailing regs. Fixed ‘mini-foils’ are used instead of more expensive and complex curved foils. Interior volume is also very generous for the size of boat


A great many knots and big fun for very sensible money… borne out by the fact that 270 boats were launched in the first three years. Now a recognised World Sailing one-design class, the first world championship took place last summer

This new one-design really will start out as a one- design with the first 20 boats all bought by the New York YC. With the promise of excellent performance inshore and on coastal courses, close racing, plus an accessible turnkey package… what’s not to like?


The new Ker 33 seems to be every bit as good as the previous Ker IRC40 and Ker40+. With three double berths this pretty IRC/ORC design offers dual-purpose use while a two-part mast saves on transport. Affordable dual-purpose offering


Designer Stefan Qviberg’s latest hull form flies in strong winds and is impressively stiff to windward, while her interior reflects Arcona Yachts’ attention to detail and Swedish roots – all handcrafted in farmed Khaya mahogany


Plenty of form stability plus a deep-draught carbon fin and heavy bulb combine to give this natural sibling of the successful MC38 tremendous power to make maximum use of the generous sailplan. Afloat and racing and proving to be very, very fast


Harry Dunning’s low-freeboard flyer offers a super cool – and cool-looking – way into the growing mid-sized ‘HPR-style’ pure performance arena at a pretty remarkable price. 28 boats have been launched to date with several more on order
