One Design, Dual Purpose X Yachts are well known to produce quality racing yachts, have announced their intentton to release a Once Design 41 for December 2006. Also talking about it's dual pupose, X Yachts hope to attract potential racing customers who can convince family and friends that the investment will also benefit them as it will be just a fast cruiser. It goes without saying that a popular racing class boat and therefore series is a great revenue maker for the manufacturer, the problem is getting to a critial mass of owners. Once this is achieved, then attracting more is easier. They just need to be informed of the existing strong racing scene in X 41 One Design and the potential customer should be sold. X Yachts like any other manufacturer will remind it's audience when they wins some medals, even if it was May 2006 and the Port of Felixstowe Regatta, it's a win for a X-35 from David Pinner and it helps to confirm X Yachts as a racing marque. For those that feel they need to try before they buy, X-Yachts are holding an Open Day at Hamble Point Marina, Southampton during the 17th & 18th June 2006, contact details are at end of this story.

Will this be the fastest mid forty foot racer? Dehler sees it's 44 and 44SQ models to be real contenders for the mid forty foot regatta cruiser market. After it's acquisition last year by Wilan van den Berg, there is now a momentum for a new direction. The mid forty foot regatta market is very popular, just about everyone sees the value of a good sized family cruiser that can be used for serious competition as well. It's like an Audi RS 6, big performance car with a big boot ideal as the family transporter that has more than it's far share of street cred for an estate car.

A new challenger for the Optimist, the RS Tera Straight after the launch of their RS500 at the London Boat show in January 2006, RS have been busy and have another new boat in their range called the RS Tera. The model is aimed at the younger end of the sailing spectrum, possibly head to head at the Laser Pico / Optimist which are equally popular models for there simplicity and indestructibility as the "de facto" starter boats. The Tera has no rigging and can even be used as an oversized kayak, should you feel it necessary, plus setting up the main sail is simple with the well proven "sock" design by simply sliding it over the mast and from what I can tell, reefing will be a case of wrapping the main sail around the mast a few turns. It will be an ideal boat to introduce the kids to sailing and should keep them hooked – modern looking, fun to sail and exceptional value as the RS Tera Sport £995 with Dacron sail will retail for a short time at £995. The Tera will become part of the RS range and also to report that over 200 boats have already been sold prior to official launch. Add this page to your favorite Social Networking websites
