Rigorously optimized and refined by Lynx Yachting Ltd. in terms of design, components, systems and integration, she is designed by Owen-Clarke Design and is built and equipped by the leading firms for hull, sail, rig, deck hardware, ground tackle, propulsion, electrics, electronics and systems.
She is designed for short-handed, fast passages. Analysis over a number of courses indicates an average passage speed greater than 8 kts and a range under motor in excess of 3.000 miles with generous reserve.
She can remain in remote areas without support for prolonged periods, which makes her the perfect small expedition/explorer yacht for families and small charter groups.
