 | The BayCruiser 23 is a beautiful, classic style cruiser, designed with sailing performance and trailerability very much in mind. Like all our boats, she looks like a classic, but sails like a witch. Like many of the boats in our range the BayCruiser 23 is water ballasted, though she also carries a significant portion of lead in her deep profiled centreboard. Her lightweight carbon rig makes her much easier to trailer sail than than many smaller boats. The mast is easy to raise, and she can be fully rigged from the trailer to launching in about 30 minutes - less if there are two of you. | Length: 22ft 11ins (6.98m) Beam: 8ft (2.36m) All up weight (epoxy ply) 1540 lbs (700kg). All up weight (GRP) 1650lbs (750kg).
Weight of water ballast tanks: 1100lbs (500kg) Draught board up 12" (300mm), Draught board down 4'11" (1.5m).
Sail Area: 24.2 sqm (260sq ft)

 | The new BayRaider 17 has been designed as a smaller version of the successful BayRaider 20, retaining many of her safety features in a smaller package.

 Storm 15 bowling along in force 5 | The Storm range of double ended dayboats focus on aesthetics and easy sailing performance. The range comprises 15', 17' and 19' craft that have traditional lines but are lightweight and simple to maintain and sail. They do not have the outright top speed of our raider range of boats but are exceptionally fast in light winds where the reduced wetted surface of the double ended hull form really comes into its own. For this reason they also make excellent rowing boats.
We offer a range of rigs to suit customer requirements and we welcome discussion if you have something specific in mind. The Storm range are all available as full or panel kits as well as complete boats. We can also build the 17 as an epoxy infused composite (essentially a GRP construction except using epoxy under vacuum instead of polyester, resulting in a much stiffer lighter hull).
