Classic and sort of Classics for these 2 examples under 40ft.
At liberty to comment.
- Apparently, there is a demand for a Daysailer under 40ft. Preferably designed under a
pseudo classic look.
- Some with plumb bow, a sprit and an elongated cockpit, some others with overhangs with more
substantial displacement.
- But what is the definition, if there is one?
downsized to fit time, budget, and also location. REF: TYD#456.
- A stiff boat, for we are not racing nor having people hanging their legs overboard but well seated in a
- From a practical point of view, and almost no matter the size, I see the main ingredients as being:
light on the helm; lots of stability (not a catamaran in this discussion); easy rig and Sail Plan.
- So, a well-balanced boat under any circumstances, including being able to sail to weather in a blow
with only the furled jib. That sail is relatively small, within the fore triangle, with no overlap and
masthead rigged.
- A stiff boat, for we are not racing nor having people hanging their legs overboard but well seated in a
comfortable cockpit design. To achieve stability with as much keel depth as possible, a strong ballast

A 40ft, version of the 46ft. Sightsailer.

- They have in common a hull shape that I call InsTanton. What is that?
- Essentially a single chine hull based on the same fore and aft angle.
- If you can draw a straight line, here is your boat. It could not be simpler when applied with
the right characteristics and correct hydrostatics. No reason to complicate your life.
