The Stomp51 is set up for two modes of sailing. Cruising with the self-tacking jib, roller furler code 0 and medium roached mainsail with inboom furling. And full on racing with carbon rig and bow pole.
The mainsail and jib sheets are both controlled by self-tailing electric winches in the cockpit making tacking and sail handling a breeze.
The mainsail is housed in a carbon fiber in-boom furling system with the halyard controlled by an electric winch. The keel can be raised and lowered by an electrically operated hydraulic system.
All sail controls are located in the aft “sailing cockpit”.
In full race mode the boat is transformed into a grand prix racer for round the buoys and passage racing.
The No. 1 jib overlap’s the mast and provides that extra grunt for great light air performance. Sailing the boat downwind with the bow pole extended using the large asymmetric spinnaker provides for exhilarating sailing at speed.
Masthead twin backstays are used to control the mainsail shape, forestay and provide support for the masthead spinnakers.
This boat can also be optimized for the IRC rule with the use of a conventional spinnaker pole and custom designed asymmetric spinnakers developed from our wind tunnel and VPP testing.
