- Description:
The Seaon 96crb is a light-weight cruiser-racer. It is identical to the Seaon 96 (see that boat for a full description), but all components are built in pre-impregnated carbon fibre.
- Type:
- Cruiser-racer
- Multihull type:
- Trimaran
- Construction:
Epoxy-prepreg carbon fibre construction with Divynicell closed-cell foam core
Structural parts such as beam system, daggerboards, rudder, mast and boom are built in autoclaved pre-impregnated carbon fibre cured at 125 degrees Celsius (technology used by the aviation industry).
- Sails and rigging:
- Rotating wingmast
- Retractable bowsprit
- Mainsail
- Self-tacking jib on a Harken track system
- Small jib
- Screacher
- Asymmetric spinnaker
For overall performance a carbon boom and high tech sails are recommended. To handle loads, and in line with overall quality ambitions, spectra halyards and Harken equipment are used exclusively for sail controls.
- Deck layout and gear:
Halyards are led to the cockpit with two multi-purpose, self-tailing Harken two speed winches, mounted on the cabin roof.
Folding by a block and tackle system in less than a minute. The hinges on the folding system are tested for more than 50 tons of design load.
