Just launched! This ULDB rocket is designed to be a fast inexpensive day racer, capable of leaving the competition in the dust. The 2XS-850 is targeted at inshore round-the-buoys racing and promises to provide a whole bunch of excitement for the people who sail them.
The construction of the 850 is e-glass and CoreCell foam core in a vinyl ester or epoxy resin. The boat has a carbon deck-stepped mast, boom and retractable bowsprit. The moderately roached main, non-overlapping jib, and an asymmetric spinnaker provide all the horsepower this boat needs, both upwind and down. Handling is made relatively easy with the simplified deck hardware package.
With the aid of the lifting “T” keel, transom-hung rudder, unique drop rig configuration, and a center point lifting arrangement, the 2XS-850 can be set up and launched in under 30 minutes from either a hoist or from a boat ramp. In addition, the 8’2” beam and light displacement make for a hassle free trailering package for this fast inexpensive day racer.
