BlueStorm, a fast centerboard cruiser, has been particularly designed as a trailer-sailer. Performance and low weight go together. These as well as ease of handling when launching or under sails and power were the main design objectives.
The ballasted centerboard is fully retractable. With the hull draft of 22cm one can go into the shallowest of waters.
BlueStorm accommodates a crew of four in moderate comfort: The galley has a sink with running water and a gimballed stove, 12V refrigeration, porta-toilet and a lot of stowage under the bunks and cockpit seats.
The mast can be erected with a simple A-frame. Even the technically disinclined sailor can do this by himself. Launching can take place on a simple ramp sufficient for dinghies.
Thanks to her flush deck, Blue Storm accomadates a crew of four in moderate comfort. |
