I just learned that this boat will be racing at my old lake in southern Indiana next summer and thought some of the racers especially might enjoy seeing it.



This is one of the original Ultimate 30's constructed for the Ultimate pro Sailing circuit. It has a 30 foot hull, 48 foot mast, 16 foot beam/racks, and <u>24 foot bowsprit</u>. It was designed by Ian Murray, and is basically an Aussie 18 skiff on steroids. It was designed to have 4 sets of sails - #1 thru #4 main/jibs, and both masthead and fractional spinnakers. Each set were intended for different wind conditions. There is a hydraulic ram under the mast base that generates massive pre-bend in the mast. The boat's rating is <u>minus</u> 30 PHRF. I wouldn't be surprised to see it lapping the J24 fleet regularly.
