I really love sailing yacht but unfortunately I could find time and opportunity to sail since arrived in Japan. To compensate I have start designing a Class 40 yacht. This is a very popular racing class in Europe but these boats can be found all over the world. This is a very simple racing class with clear regulations, it leave some freedom to architect but do not allow expensive material such as carbon fiber so final price of the yacht stay reasonnable.
These boats are single or twin handed. The accomodations is very minimal to keep the yacht as light as possible.
The great thing with sailing yacht this size is that they can be made in any yard with minimum investment cost as no mould are required. The hull and deck shape are very simple so they can be produce over plywood frame.
