While big multihulls grab the headlines there are some satisfactory canoes appearing too Oceantec 50
There can be no denying the current explosion in popularity of the large high-performance cruising multihull. Fast, stable (up to a point) and with high volume for their length, it is a platform that lends itself to the modern fast cruising concept.
But much the same can also be said for some of today’s dual- use Open-style monohulls; the work our office has been involved with over the years in Class40, Imoca and Volvo 70 design has always reinforced the connection with what this style of design can also deliver for a fast, long distance-capable cruising yacht. It’s not a new concept, but in many previous cases the balance has perhaps swung a little more in favour of production friendliness and cruising comforts, at the expense of weight and genuine sailing performance. So we were extremely excited to be approached to design the new Oceantec 50 where we have had the opportunity to turn the dial back the other way again!
Ocean Tec’s latest offering is designed for fast, efficient, comfortable and safe cruising for a family or couple. The design incorporates a powerful, refined hull form with excellent sea-keeping qualities, very generous comfortable and practical living spaces, a rugged high-tech composite structure, and simple, reliable sailing and service systems. An optional water ballast package allows the design to be tailored more for shorthanded crews or for those unable to convince the family to hit the rail on their holidays… On the design development side, once again we worked closely with our regular project partners, Pure Design & Engineering for the structures and KND Sailing Performance on performance optimi- sation, to bolster our own in-house analytical work. A series of hull candidates were run through two different CFD panel codes and analysed in the VPP, before two of these candidates were then run by KND through a more comprehensive CFD Rans code (STAR- CCM+) with a focus on transom immersion and aft buttock slope to identify the best balance between light air and upwind performance and faster downwind and reaching potential. Some of our early concept sketches quickly revealed that a long, flush foredeck was to become a key design feature for this project.

With freeboard therefore driving headroom requirements in the large owner’s suite forward, we experimented with different topside and deck edge treatments before settling on the reverse bow and heavily chamfered sheerline. This allowed us to push freeboard to deliver generous headroom, while minimising its impact on global VCG in addition to helping to visually – and structurally – break up the large topside panels. Careful attention to detail to design and engineer out as much redundancy as possible and strict weight control measures, commensurate with a race yacht project, result in an empty weight displacement of just 8.5 tonnes. Production has now started at Ocean Tec in Slovenia, with project management and systems integration being carried out by Segelwelt. Full production tooling is being utilised, with the hull plug currently being milled. Various specifications are available, with build options ranging from a more economical infused vinylester E-glass laminate with gelcoat finish to full carbon-epoxy with a paint finish. The client for hull number one is extremely performance focused and this boat will feature infused carbon-epoxy and SAN foam core laminates throughout, a fabricated Weldox box section keel fin with composite fairings and lead T-bulb, plus other features still in the throes of being finalised…
A comprehensive base specification starts from 630,000 euros. Tom Humphreys, Humphreys Yacht Design

This one’s the full toyshop, scow hull, powerful foils and a stonking-looking rig Swift-looking café racer for shorthanded sailing. Lots of buttons and (gorgeous) varnishwork Tidy-looking development of the A13 Teasing Machine. The first boat quickly impressed Contemporary-looking shorthanded tool par excellence… but with a full (if light) interior Very light cruiser-racer. Spruce hull, carbon structure and deck and weighing just eight tonnes

This custom IRC56 will give Teasing Machine3 some trouble (inshore at least) Very good-looking one-off catamaran cruiser-racer from a shrewd Kiwi designer Long overdue… top Class40 designer Sam Manuard’s first Imoca is for Armel Tripon Another Figaro frontrunner gets the big break – François Gabart protégée Charlie Dalin This will be interesting, a new Imoca 60 for Sébastien Simon managed by Vincent Riou With so much team input expect another Imoca 60 that diverges a bit from the herd Whizzy IRC-targeted racer-cruiser. Resembling a small Cannonball (which can’t be bad– ed) 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? Contemporary performance cruiser – maybe series production? Well, maybe… Interesting performance cruiser with foil-assist for righting moment and pitch damping Smaller (even lighter) Wally is aggressively styled and reflects the latest Maxi72s Thomas Coville is breaking with the herd with his new Ultim. Much anticipated puppy 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
