"Magnitude 80"
incorporates the latest developments in yacht design to reach the
client's goal as the
fastest boat to be based in the restricted draft of his
home port. All-carbon laminates combine with a
canting keel to keep displacement
to a minimum while a retractable forward dagger board
dramatically
reduces offwind drag compared to rotating canard configurations.
Drag is further minimized with a
retracting sail drive
and all appendages - keel, bulb, dagger board and rudder are carefully
optimized with
the latest CFD tools.
