New Boats Table Wow
Twenty IC37s for the New York Yacht Club has turned out to be just the start, a further 20 deposits have now been put down, perhaps more by the time you read this update, and in Europe a famous boatbuilding team are busy polishing the second set of moulds
Hull no1 of the New York Yacht Club’s IC37 is in Newport and has been giving boat rides to impress all those who have been eagerly awaiting the chance to see this carefully-targeted project progress from design to construct to sail. But this is proving much more than the development of another nice but far from radical mid-size race yacht… the original order for 20 boats for the New York YC itself looks to be dwarfed soon as demand grows elsewhere in the US with the first stirrings of interest being seen in Europe as well. On top of the first 20 boats promised to the club the next 20 orders
are confirmed, primarily for the US but with a handful destined for foreign shores; it’s already safe to say this boat has struck a chord in the marketplace unlike any large keelboat of its kind in recent memory – probably going as far back as the launch of the Farr 40 OD in the summer of 1997. The scale of this demand evolved so fast, that to meet it, especially
as international interest grows, the alumni boatbuilders from Green Marine who have set up shop again in Lymington as Fibre Mechanics have agreed to take on production for non-US orders as well as help meet escalating demand from the US itself. The second set of tooling is now at Fibre Mechanics’ modern well-equipped facility and the moulds are being prepared as fast as possible. In the flesh the IC37 looks and feels better than all the renderings,
videos and testimonials can convey, because it’s here the trained eye can see the details: the simplicity of the winch layout, blocks and other deck fittings, and all seemingly exactly where you need them straight out the box. The construction details in the limited but functional interior show
where small amounts of carbon are used in the laminates for strength, nothing more, a paucity of thru-deck holes to leak, and a neat single- point lift for dry sailing. Similarly the rig and sailplan are also dead simple, tailored to the NYYC’s stipulation for a boat that can be raced

Another Melges IC37 well underway. Primarily glass but with carbon visible in high load areas as the more cost-effective way (requiring fewer man-hours) to add the necessary reinforcement
properly as a turnkey package, on daily, weekly or annual charter to the club’s members. ‘We needed a fast and relevant modern boat,’ said project manager
Barry Carroll, who 20 years ago was instrumental in the success of the Farr 40 OD. ‘But also one that would be easy to race, maintain and fix for an active and competitive club membership. Lynn [Bowser of Westerly] and his team have created a beauty here, well within our build tolerances, and we just need now to focus on meeting our production schedules for when it really counts next season.’ The debut for the club’s IC37 fleet will be the NYYC’s signature
event, the biennial Rolex Invitational Cup in September 2019. Dobbs Davis

COMMENTS Great-looking IRC pot-hunter with a super-stylish interior; cracking value
Tidy-looking development of the A13 Teasing Machine. The first boat quickly impressed Swift-looking cafe racer for shorthanded sailing. Lots of buttons and (gorgeous) varnishwork Expect this new IRC56 to be giving the latest Teasing Machine some competition A possible run of yet another lightweight and fast luxury cat. Lift foils and daggerboards Long overdue... top Class40 designer Sam Manuard’s first Imoca is for Armel Tripon Another Figaro frontrunner gets the big break. François Gabart protégée Jérémie Beyou gets a new sponsor and his first brand new Imoca 60 (at last) This will be interesting, a new Imoca 60 for Sébastien Simon managed by Vincent Riou So who gets its similarly slim and fast predecessor?
Young Swiss skipper Alan Roura’s trusty 2006 Imoca is gaining foils from Mick Kermarec Whizzy IRC-targeted racer-cruiser. Looks like a mini-Cannonball
All carbon, twin-rudder and typically sleek new performance offering from Reichel/Pugh Very light (17-tonne) all-carbon double una-rig cruiser-racer… Got that? The new Bella Mente has a deck (just as well, really)
Contemporary performance cruiser – with hopes of series production?
Interesting performance cruiser with foil-assist for righting moment and pitch damping There are also a 96 and a 70 on the drawing board. MSY is on a roll Smaller Wally is aggressively styled and reflects the latest Maxi72s
Back in the shed being speeded up… with the next boat starting in 18 months! Thomas Coville is breaking with the (small but perfectly refined) herd with his new Ultim All-carbon build, hybrid power and lots of sail for this sporty little number Lots of wrapping paper needed – a first one-off custom Superyacht from Swan
The biggest yet from Persico. Very light at 171 tonnes. Hybrid power means silent running q
