The
survival of an around-the-world racing yacht hinges on a good
structural and seakeeping design. At VGYD, we have balanced
these
factors to come up with a more sea-kindly and efficient sailing
boat.
Engineered using the latest composite technology, VGYD
believes this
ocean rocket will be a stronger and stiffer boat than the current bread
of open class racers, yet be just as light and have a more powerful
hull form. |

off-the-wind sailing, hull forms will be wide and shallow aft, with
narrow forward entries, canting keels and the option of twin rudders. |
