| | | THE GRAND PRIX OFFSHORE MACHINE More than 30.000 nautical miles has proven the SeaCart 30 to be a fast and reliable machine for serious offshore racing. Three reefs in the main, one reef in the jib, ORC jib on Cutterstay. Checkstays to stabilize the mast in three reef mode. The mainhull volume is great to have as safety when driving hard in downwind slopes. It's also serves as a hideout for sleeping and cooking during over night races. She is an exciting Grand Prix Machine, sailing on one pontoon in 12 knots true. Large rudders give great control in 'hairy moments' and confidence to make big, fast tactical decisions in tight situations. Top speed so far; 27,4 knots. | | THE SHORT HANDED RACER Do like Pete Goss and Paul Larsen. Fit a standard SeaCart 30 with boat autopilot, a soft 200 litre ballast tank, a Sofo-Scoope to fill and empty your tank. Buy a liferaft, drysuits and other safety gear required. Plan your route and supplies and you are ready for the Shetland Round Britain and Ireland Race. Other short handed races like the Skagerak 2star and the Kattegatt 2star have been sailed in standard SeaCart's without water ballast system. She is a pleasure to sail short handed and once you try, the risk of getting hooked for life is high. Give us a hint if you are interested in making an equipment based Single Hand version. | | |
