Designed by Yves Loday and first launched in 1997, this lightweight catamaran represents a modern approach to small boat racing and recreational sailing. Built by LaserPerformance using advanced Tecrothene 121 construction, the boat delivers impressive durability while maintaining its remarkably low displacement of just 276 pounds. The fractional sloop rig features a rotating mast system that maximizes sail efficiency across varying wind conditions. With 148 square feet of sail area driving the lightweight platform, the boat achieves an exceptional sail area-to-displacement ratio of 55.92, promising exhilarating performance and quick acceleration. The 7.55-foot beam provides stability for the narrow waterline, while the minimal 1.64-foot draft allows access to shallow waters and easy beach launching. This catamaran excels in coastal waters, small lake racing, and club-level competition sailing. The asymmetric hull design without daggerboards simplifies handling while maintaining good tracking ability. The boat's responsive nature makes it particularly well-suited for sailors transitioning from dinghies to multihull sailing, offering manageable size with genuine catamaran performance characteristics. Its modern construction and proven racing pedigree have made it a respected choice in the small catamaran racing circuit.
