What is an aluminium sailing boat?

As the name suggests an aluminium sailing boat is one constructed from aluminium (also know as aluminum in the United States). Aluminium is a stronger metal than the same weight of steel, so aluminium boats can be lighter in weight whilst still being strong, which is an advantage for sailing boats, especially those used for racing where lower weight equals more speed. There are a few disadvantages too though, for example, aluminium does corrode, and more so in saltwater, so aluminium boats need repainting every couple of years and you will need a sacrificial anode.

Which manufacturers build aluminium sail boats?

Manufacturers that produce aluminium sail boats include Alubat , Jongert , Nordia , Allures and International .

How much does an aluminium sail boat cost?

A used aluminium sail boat on TheYachtMarket.com ranges in price from £74,600 GBP to £4,250,000 GBP with an average price of £1,050,000 GBP . Factors including the condition, age, model and specification will affect the price of an aluminium boat.

Aluminum is green

By having the ability to beach your boat, inspecting and servicing your yacht becomes less daunting than having to haul out.

Go places where other sailboats can't.

Centerboard advantages, navigate shallow water.

From the turquoise waters of the Bahamas to the Alaskan ice fields, a lifting keel gives you the peace of mind to navigate in shallow water. 

The centerboard doesn’t sacrifice performance or safety, in fact, it can enhance performance when it comes to downwind sailing. 

Another advantage of a centerboard is the expanded possibilities to find docking in marinas that would otherwise be too shallow for a fixed keel sailboat.

Without the limitations of fixed keel boats, your cruising opportunities can take you through the maze of Europe’s ancient canals and the historic North American waterways.

The centerboard can be lifted manually or by using a hydraulic system.

Skater 24 Diamond Marine Mercury 280 Cleaver Aluminum Trailer Livorsi Catamaran

Hollywood, Florida

Make Douglas Marine

Model Skater

Category Catamarans

Length 24.0

Selling my 1989 24' Skater cat. Comes with custom built 2014 Allstar Aluminum Trailer with torsion axles, brakes, custom wheels, and all LED lights. Trailer has a 5 year warranty. Motors were rebuilt at Diamond Marine last year with new top pinned Pistons, rings, beatings, custom tuners and porting, and the ECU was flashed to ROS specs by Simon Motorsports. Engines had 130-140 original hours prior to rebuilds and have approximately 20 hours now. Very clean engines and boat! 4 JL Audio 8.8's and two 10" JL subs, JL Amps, all installed by JL Audio Factory Employee. Full Sunbrella cover with suede on inside, Livorsi gauges and Livorsi throttles, LED nav lights. Blue led lights in the cockpit and white in the bilge. Racing hatch in the rear can hold a large cooler out of the way of passengers. Sportmaster lower units 20" and offshore midsections. Cleaver 3 blade props recently balanced and polished by Frank and Jimmie's in Fort Lauderdale. Latham steering with dual rams and wing plates. Boat has the throttles in the center so you can drive it using two people or just one. Trim switches wired to both sides for driver and throttleman. Boat has a tunnel tab that also has switches wored to both sides. Comes turn-key with props, hubs, etc. and will run 110mph as it sits. With more setup you could probably see 117-120mph. I have only run Aviation Fuel/Recreational (Non-Ethanol) fuel in this boat, so there are no Ethanol issues whatsoever. Boat has two fuel tanks, one on each side that hold approx 50 gallons each. If you don't know the history of Skater boats, check them out on YouTube or Google. These are world champion offshore powerboats, and this size (24ft) hasn't been made since the 90's so they are hard to come by. The engines were rebuilt by the best on the business (Marty and Joe Signorelli) and they are the only ones that have ever cracked them open. The engines started their life in freshwater and over the course of 14 years only had 140hrs put on them. These are pure race engines built to run at high rpm's for long distances, and these are also no longer produced by Mercury Marine so a nice pair like these are very rare.

Serious buyers only ( no dreamers) Also available without power AND trades possibly considered !!She is dialed in and ready to run !!     The 50 Catamaran is bred for the wild--water, spirit and colors! Built totally of carbon fiber, the cat is strong and stealthy, light enough to land softly, but tough enough for rough water. Powered with stock Mercury Racing 1075's the cat has seen speeds in excess of 140 mph. As with all Outerlimits Powerboats, the 50' Cat is highly technical in its construction; made entirely of carbon fiber and post cured epoxy with Nomex honeycomb bulkheads. The engine compartment is a clear carbon fiber "monocoque" unit. The clean engine installation gives the appearance of an engine in space - with all wiring and fluid supply lines being hidden. The seamless bilge is strong, clean and light. This installation is the same technique used in airplanes and race cars.Available in both a stern drive and shaft drive, the Michael Peters designed bottom has been modified by Outerlimits improving on an already great design. Post-curing ensures the perfection and uniform finish of each Outerlimits Powerboat. The slow baking and cooling in a computerized oven assures that the full strength of the materials is realized and gives each boat the durable finish that stands up to all Mother Nature's wrath.Offered in both an open or enclosed canopy, comfort is a key element. The cockpit is luxurious - built with fine leathers and suede including a hand stitched leather dash, carpeting, state-of-the-art instrumentation, computerized electronics and GPS chart plotter, making the Outerlimits Cat, not just a powerboat, but a species all of its own.

2015 C-Dory Tomcat 255 Catamaran

Portland, Oregon

Make C-Dory

Model Tomcat 255 Catamaran

Category Pilothouse Boats

2015 C-Dory Tomcat 255 Catamaran  Classic Black Hull Stripe, Twin 175hp EFI Suzuki Four Strokes, Custom Aluminum Float-On Trailer. Overview: The fuel efficient all weather Tomcat 255 features Diamond Sea Glaze windows and doors like you find on the ocean going yachts! Whether you are cruising, fishing or diving with over 45 Square feet of cockpit space there is room to roam. The Tomcat 255 rides and corners smoothly without any roll. It tracks straight at all speeds and runs flat and dry. Widely spaced twin engines provide maneuverability around the dock and peace of mind when out on the water. The railings are all made of the highest grade 316 stainless steel and are oversized for extra strength and safety! Four foot insulated fish boxes with macerators provide plenty of room for the days catch. They also serve well as additional cockpit storage. Features: Employing a modified "V" asymmetrical shaped bottom with broad hard chines on it’s pontoons. The design of the TomCat 255 hull does away with the tendency to lean outward in hard turns and the wallow feeling that some cats exhibit at speed. Other advantages to this design include a reduced bow wake and a reduction in the amount of spray ejected out of the tunnel (sneezing) when driving into large waves. You always have a flat, stable, dry ride with the TomCat 255. Quick and nimble with the stability and ride of a much larger vessel. The TomCat 255 lifts up on plane quickly with very little change in attitude. On step the hull runs clean and dry with its limited bow spray being deflected by hard chines that run all the way forward. In a turn, wash along the sides is deflected by a step in the hull a few inches above the water line. The TomCat 255 runs dry, even in a very hard turn. Stability as one might expect is superb. Even in hard turns at 30+ Knots the boat cuts a clean flat turn with no feeling of slip or complaint from the hull or props. The spacious all weather cabin provides a Queen size plus berth in the bow, (84"X64"). A dinette on the port side with a convertible forward facing seat, that makes into a roomy single berth. A full featured galley complete with hot and cold water and two burner stove. An enclosed head is located on the starboard side just aft of the galley with a Marine head and hot and cold shower. The cabin provides seating for four with 360 degree visibility out the windows at all speeds. The aft deck boasts over 45 square feet of cockpit space and is self bailing. It has a pair of four foot insulated fish boxes with macerator pumps. The fuel tanks are located in each pontoon and can be

Garcia Explocat 52 review: A go-anywhere aluminium catamaran

• February 23, 2021

The new go-anywhere Garcia Explocat 52 offers an enticing combination of space, pace and rugged construction. Rupert Holmes tested the new boat for Yachting World and felt it's clear she has the potential to make easy 250 mile days in the right conditions.

Product Overview

Manufacturer:, price as reviewed:.

In recent years there have been two clear trends in serious long-term cruising yachts. Firstly catamarans have become mainstream, to the extent that professional racing sailors talk of ‘buying a catamaran’ for cruising with their families – a monohull doesn’t even enter the equation.

This trend can also be seen in ARC (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers) entries, where multihulls are increasingly common. In 2020 they accounted for 28% of the total fleet and a much higher proportion of new boats and more recent designs.

The second trend is the rapidly growing popularity of rugged metal expedition yachts. Aluminium is favoured for this as it offers good strength and stiffness without a weight penalty, especially for yachts over a critical size. That’s why many top-end racing yachts were built of aluminium before composites dominated that scene.

It was, therefore, surely only a matter of time before someone married these two concepts to create an aluminium expedition catamaran. Cherbourg-based Garcia Yachts has been building metal boats for almost 50 years, including Jean Luc Van Den Heede ’s 36.15 MET, in which he scored a podium finish in the inaugural Vendée Globe Race in 1989.

Equally Garcia needs no introduction as a front-runner in the development of expedition yachts, thanks to the success of the Exploration 45 that was developed with ARC founder Jimmy Cornell eight years ago. What’s less well known is that the Explocat 52 is by no means Garcia’s first aluminium catamaran.

A pair of 43-footers 15 years ago were followed by the SC48, one of which consistently posted some of the fastest passage times in the 2017/18 World ARC .

As part of the Grand Large Yachting group Garcia was also able to draw on considerable expertise from Outremer and Gunboat for its latest model, while naval architecture is by Pierre Delion, who also drew the SC48.

The Explocat 52 is therefore the product of a highly knowledgeable development team and has already attracted plenty of attention, including nomination for the 2021 European Yacht of the Year awards.

The core concept for the Explocat 52 is a robust, safe long-range yacht that offers good passagemaking speeds. A high level of comfort, both at sea – even in inclement weather – and in harbour was also a key requirement, and the boat had to be capable of being handled by a couple.

Go anywhere?

While a key marketing message for Garcia’s monohulls is ‘Nowhere you can’t go’, the company accepts this won’t apply as literally to the Explocat 52, even though the boat’s impressive speed potential will enable routing around a lot of bad weather.

Explocat 52, the ultimate aluminium exploration catamaran by Garcia Yachts

The problem is, unlike being knocked down in a monohull, capsizing a multihull is always catastrophic. There are parts of the world, especially at high latitudes in the southern hemisphere, or out of season in the north, where it could be impossible to route around potentially dangerous weather. Nevertheless, the boat is intended to stretch the boundaries that are sensible for exploring the globe with a catamaran, allowing owners to sail a lot further north and south than might be prudent with existing designs.

Rugged construction is also a benefit when venturing off the beaten track in tropical waters. If anything goes wrong while exploring a poorly-charted lagoon, for instance, a fibreglass boat may be in grave danger. Many foam sandwich hulls have surprisingly thin outer skins, which can make the structure vulnerable to abrasion, whether from coral or a concrete quay.

By contrast, the thinnest plating of the Explocat 52 is 5mm, which increases through 8, 10 and 12mm thicknesses, before reaching an enormously reassuring 14mm at the bottom of the hulls. The boat has framing of up to 14mm and is structurally engineered to eliminate flexing between the hulls.

A substantial keel with a long chord length is welded to the bottom of the hulls. They are marginally deeper than the rudders, which offers some protection, as well as providing a firm base on which to dry out on a beach. At the same time the key elements that have made Garcia’s Exploration monohulls so successful are incorporated.

These include fore and aft watertight bulkheads and upstands for through-hull fittings that enable all seacocks to be above the waterline. A skeg ahead of the saildrives and rudders provides good protection, while the rudders are large enough to offer redundancy in the event of one being lost. In addition, the top aft corner of the rudders have a sacrificial zone designed to eliminate risk of the blade puncturing the hull, or becoming jammed, if it hits an obstruction with enough force to bend the stock.

What about weight? Are metal multihulls uncommon because they’re simply too heavy? As with aluminium monohulls, where the material offers better strength/weight ratios for larger boats, around 14m/46ft overall length seems to be a transition point for catamarans.

Below that composite boats will always be lighter, but above that length aluminium is lighter for equivalent rigidity than a composite structure that doesn’t use exotic materials. At 18.9 tonnes lightship displacement the Explocat is therefore in the same league as other cruising catamarans of a similar size and indeed lighter than some.

Substantial built-in attachment points for shorelines are found at the waterline of each bow for use in extreme conditions, plus attachment points aft for a drogue

Interestingly, it’s also a similar figure to that of the Exploration 52 monohull, yet the Explocat offers a large amount of extra space and 35% more sail area. Maximum payload is a useful five tonnes. But how does that translate on the water?

Rapid exploration

Our test took place from Cherbourg on a gloriously sunny late November day, with a gusty and shifty southerly breeze varying from 7-19 knots.

It’s immediately clear the Explocat 52 picks up and sails at speeds that belie its displacement, putting it in a different league to other expedition yachts of similar length, especially when reaching.

Broad reaching at 120° TWA with full main and Code 0 in 16 knots of true wind we cruised comfortably at 10 knots, reaching an unfussed maximum of 11.8 knots, with the boat still feeling rock steady.

When the breeze picked up to 19 knots, at the design limit for the Code 0, we furled it and continued with the Solent jib instead, losing only a couple of knots of boat speed. By the time we turned upwind the wind had eased significantly, which gave a good test in conditions that can challenge cruising yachts.

Garcia Exploration 52 test: The sailing equivalent of a 4×4 off-roader

If you were to take your partner or family to some of the world’s most remote waters, exploring the oceans…

In just seven knots of true wind we made 5.3 close-hauled, rising to 6.2 in 9 knots of breeze. Maximum upwind speed was 9 knots in 15 knots of true wind. However, these numbers can’t be achieved if pinching – the boat likes to be sailed fast and free, with tacking angles of at least 105°. This is hardly a surprise for a boat of this style that’s sufficiently fast to have a big impact on apparent wind angles.

Even in light airs the Explocat is surprisingly nimble in tacks, showing no hint it might miss stays, or slow enough for steering to be difficult until speed is regained on the new tack. Obviously the steering has less feel than a lightweight monohull, but there’s enough feedback for it to feel reasonably responsive and enjoyable to helm.

The shifty and gusty offshore winds were ideal for figuring out the boat’s capability across a range of wind strengths, but the mostly flat water meant we didn’t see the boat performing in a more agitated sea state.

Pete Goss – another massively experienced high-profile Garcia owner – has sailed the boat in more lively conditions. Even fully powered up he reported the lee shrouds remaining tight and there was no telltale creaking of furniture below decks, indicating no deflection of the structure despite the high loads. “It’s incredible how fast she is,” Goss says. He was also impressed by how nimbly the boat tacks.

Cockpits and steering

Much thought has gone into optimising the deck layout. The core vision is for key operations to take place in the safety and shelter of the aft cockpit. The only exceptions are preparing the main for use and hoisting/dropping spinnakers and reaching sails.

We conducted our test in south-east to south-west winds of 7-19 knots, in flat water

As standard the helm station is offset to starboard at the front of the aft cockpit. It has a two-position swinging wheel, which provides an all-round view over the top of the coachroof in its upper position. When swung inboard and lower, the helmsman gains shelter from the hard top, while being able to see forward through the bridgedeck cabin windows.

However, at the request of the owner the first boat has twin outboard helm stations. Before sailing it I’d expected to prefer this arrangement, but didn’t warm to it. Granted, you can steer from the windward side, with a good view of the jib, but the headsail luff will also be visible from the higher of the standard steering positions.

The key problem with the twin wheels is the coachroof creates a large blind spot on the other side of the boat. This has potential to create issues when manoeuvring in confined quarters such as a marina or when bailing out of an anchorage in an unexpected squall.

Mainsheet and traveller are handled right aft on the crossbeam, while the headsail, staysail and kite sheets, plus furling lines, are handled by electric Lewmar 65 winches on each side of the cockpit. Plenty of large rope bins and bags help keep lines nicely ordered.

The rig has twin headstays, with a marginally overlapping furling Solent jib on the main forestay, plus a self-tacking furling staysail. This runs on a neat Dyneema strop, instead of a more conventional but unnecessarily expensive and heavy track.

Combined with furling spinnakers and reaching sails it’s an excellent configuration that takes the hassle out of changing gear to suit widely different conditions.

The square-top mainsail has a Dyneema strop that pulls the ‘gaff’ forward to the mast track without any need for complex hooks, making it as easy to use as pin-head sails. A fuse attaching one of the mainsheet blocks to the boom is intended as a capsize prevention device if the boat is over pressed.

When the fuse blows the strop joining the block to the boom extends by two metres, immediately depowering the sail. The idea of the forward cockpit is to provide a protected position for a lookout when sailing in ice and for anchor handling. It also doubles as a well ventilated area for relaxation when at anchor in warmer climes.

It’s generally easy to move around on deck and there are decent steps at a gentle gradient between the various different levels. I also liked the cork deck – it looks surprisingly good, has great grip and is a more environmentally friendly option than teak.

There’s plenty of stowage, both in small lockers in the cockpit benches and in cavernous sail lockers at the front of each hull.

Davits are rated to take a 500kg RIB, allowing a substantial, powerful tender to be carried.

Temperature control

Alongside the rugged exterior is supremely comfortable and well thought out accommodation.

This, of course, isn’t a boat where it would be appropriate for the distinction between interior and exterior living spaces to be all but eliminated, as it is for many recent designs intended solely for hot climates. Nevertheless, the standard specification has a drop-down window each side of the door between the saloon and aft cockpit. This will help to open the saloon to the aft cockpit and improve ventilation in warm weather.

The saloon is comfortable, bright and airy, yet also has practical sea-going elements

For colder parts of the world an air extraction system vents moist and stale interior air without needing to open hatches.

The main forward saloon windows are also equipped with demisters. In the same vein, dedicated lockers for foul weather gear and boots have mechanical ventilation and heating. These features make sailing in cold and damp regions far more civilised, yet are addressed by disappointingly few manufacturers.

The aluminium shell is lined with up to 76mm of high density foam, which provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. As a result the boat is impressively quiet inside when under way – in the saloon you can barely hear the engines, even at cruising speed, and the high bridgedeck – it’s 85cm above the water – means we experienced no slapping of waves.

Insulation of this standard is expensive to install and doesn’t show up on photographs. Yet yachts create a cacophony of noise in heavy weather. Effective sound proofing is therefore a critical element in creating a comfortable environment, while the thermal insulation will be a benefit whether in the tropics or the Arctic.

As you’d expect, the saloon is very bright and airy, with a good almost all-round view.

The navstation forward on the port side, next to the watertight door to the forward cockpit

The biggest drawback in this respect is at the navstation, forward on the port side, as the mast support and starboard forward mullion obscure some of the view.

Also to port is a big galley that offers plenty of secure worktop space, with low fiddles, and masses of stowage. The test boat had additional fridge and freezer space in the starboard hull. Garcia says more than half its customers choose electric cooking and this boat has a microwave, electric oven and induction hob.

The company has its roots in custom boatbuilding and offers several choices for fitting out the hulls, with options for 6-10 berth arrangements, including a classic owner’s layout. The aft cabins have natural light through two hull windows, a wide aft window to the cockpit, plus opening ports aft and overhead.

Garcia’s longstanding knowledge of creating rugged go-anywhere yachts has enabled the yard to produce one with a very enticing combination of space, pace and rugged construction. It also benefits from a high standard of finish, attention to detail and many neat touches. It’s clear the boat has the potential to make easy 250 mile days in the right conditions. At the same time it has sufficient tankage and stowage for supplies, spares and tools to give a high level of autonomy for extended periods. The owner of the first boat intends voyaging to Svalbard and, with another seven boats on order, it’s unlikely to be long before we see Explocats in many more far-flung and interesting parts of the globe.

ABOUT BRIX MARINE

has earned a solid reputation for pioneering and crafting the world’s most rugged aluminum catamarans and workboats since 1991.

The company was founded in Canada and moved to Port Angeles, WA in 2001. We gained new ownership under Bryton Marine Group in 2017, which fortified the company’s focus on our Core Values and strategic plan for our future.

“Our team has developed strong momentum with our boat portfolios and customers. As we look to the future, BRIX Marine will honor the legacy we have built and move beyond to deliver exceptional custom boats,” said Perry Knudson, Managing Director.

BRIX literally means the scientific measure of sweetness in liquid. This translates well to the high-performance boats the company is known for. “BRIX is more than a sweet riding hull,” said Knudson. “Our custom projects begin with the first communication and the relationship continues after the boat is delivered. BRIX is committed to an owner-centric approach.”

BRIX Marine has another important target. “We want to be the best place to work in our community,” said Knudson. BRIX employs master level craftsmen in the disciplines required to build welded aluminum boats. The company invests in defining career paths and training employees to gain the skills needed to advance in their fields.

The BRIX team will broaden and diversify its portfolio of welded aluminum boats, known as being “first in cats.” The newly redefined custom recreational portfolio is in high demand, and BRIX Marine is bringing this same innovative approach to other key markets.

“Our luxury water taxi designs are raising the standards for passenger vessels as seen with the recent launch for Liberty National Golf Club. The research vessel  Bob & Betty Beyster  we delivered in 2019 earned a Workboat Magazine award as a Significant Boat of the Year. That design is reshaping our research vessel line-up,” commented Perry Knudson. “We have a lot of exciting things on the horizon. This new identity represents who we are and where we’re going.”

Halifax harbour to host the first-ever Sail Grand Prix race in Canadian waters

The Team Canada vessel is lowered into the water in the Dartmouth harbour on May 31. Some of the fastest sailing vessels in the world will compete in teams of six representing 10 countries in the Sail Grand Prix. Riley Smith/The Globe and Mail

Historically, Nova Scotia has always been home to the sleekest, speediest and most famous sailing ship in the country. The Bluenose, a cod-fishing and racing schooner built and launched from the shores of Lunenburg, N.S., in 1921, established itself as the world-acclaimed “Queen of the North Atlantic,” and has been iconic ever since – etched into the dime as a symbol of the province’s shipbuilding heritage.

It seems fitting that the equally famous replica of the iconic sailing vessel will be berthed on the Halifax waterfront, overlooking the elite Sail Grand Prix event in the harbour June 1 and 2 – where some of the fastest sailing vessels in the world will compete in teams of six representing 10 countries. It’s the first time these sailors have gone head-to-head in Canadian waters – flying F50 foiling catamarans between Georges Island and the Macdonald bridge at speeds of up to nearly 100 kilometres an hour.

Unlike traditional wooden schooners, or even the average sailboat moored at local clubs, these boats are equipped with thousands of sensors gathering information, tracking their locations to the centimetre and generating 48 billion data points across the fleet, which is then shared openly with every team.

The flight controller for Team Canada, Billy Gooderham of Bedford, N.S., spoke to The Globe about the event, to be broadcast on TSN, YouTube and TikTok live this weekend.

How did you start your career as a sailor?

When most kids go to summer camp, I would go to sailing camp. I grew up doing summer sailing programs at the Royal Canadian Yacht Squadron in Toronto. And from there at a really early age I knew this was something that I really enjoyed doing. I moved into racing where I was on the Canadian youth national team. After that I was on the Canadian national team for four years and trying to go to the Olympics for the 2012 Olympics. I didn’t quite get to realize that goal. But after my four years of doing Olympic campaign, I started sailing professionally and that was about 12 years ago. Like any other sport, you work your way up through the ranks.

How does SailGP differ from regular sailing?

Obviously, the speeds are a heck of a lot faster in SailGP but it’s all still the same physics – the same physics that make your normal everyday mid-week racing boat work are the same physics that make our F50s work. The physics are all the same – just the loads are higher, the speeds are higher, and the consequences if you do it wrong are a heck of a lot higher.

What are the consequences if you do it wrong?

Normally you’d blow up all the aerodynamic fairings on the boat and you can actually get quite hurt. You see broken bones and concussions when people get it wrong so we’re trying to avoid that.

The flight controller for Team Canada, Billy Gooderham of Bedford, N.S., works on the vessel in Dartmouth, N.S. on May 31. Riley Smith/The Globe and Mail

What are you doing to prep yourself physically, mentally, emotionally for race day?

I sort of become a bit of a recluse when it’s a Grand Prix weekend – I hang out in the hotel room by myself. All the data that comes off the boats is recorded so we have 1,500 data points that run on the boat at 50 hertz so a lot like in auto racing where these guys go and look at the data of what they’re trying and try to look at ways they can improve. We can go back and look at the data we have from past events and try and improve the way we do things.

One of the things that’s very unique to SailGP is that all of the data is open so we can go look at what other teams are doing and look at the on-board video and data and cherry pick the good and the bad, and we try to incorporate that into how we sail our boat.

How do the communication features and technology interact differently than on regular sailboats?

The speeds we go at are the same speed you would drive on the highway. The boats are incredibly loud. We have a full electronic communication system so that we can actually hear each other on the boat. Everybody has to be really precise. There is no room for any one person to make a mistake because the speeds are so high and the consequences are so high if you get it wrong.

How would you describe your role as flight controller?

I control how high the boat flies off the water. My focus is to have the boat 1 to 1.2 metres off the water. Any lower and you’re not going the speed you’d like to be going, and any higher you’re starting to get a bit out of control and lining yourself up for a big nosedive and a big crash.

Anatomy of the F50 Catamaran

The F50 boasts cutting-edge technology to make it a remarkably fast boat in the annals of sailing history with an estimated top speed of more than 52 knots (97 km/h). Its 24-metre wing can be altered to suit wind conditions and its foils are constructed with carbon fibre while the lower section of the rudders are manufactured using high-strength stainless steel to reduce drag.

How does it relate to driving a race car?

I always joke that [fellow team member] Phil [Robertson] does the left-right, which is the steering. I have the gas pedal, which is how high we’re flying the boat. And then another person has the brakes. It’s like trying to drive a car where each portion of driving the car is done by a different person.

We have the grinders, which are the power. They’re the guys that turn the winch that allows our wing trimmer to trim the wing sail. They’re almost the gasoline and then I’m obviously the accelerator. Our wing trimmer is a combination – a bit of gas pedal as well but also putting the brakes on when he needs to. And then we have our strategist at the back and she’s in charge of navigation and routing. It’s very much a team effort.

What’s your advice for young people who want to get into competitive sailing?

When I think about my career, it’s had a lot of highs, but it’s also had a lot of lows. I didn’t get my goal of qualifying for the Olympics and I’ve had some down moments. But I’ve never let anybody tell me I can’t do anything. I haven’t always been the best sailor in the room, but I’ve always been the hardest working.

What does it feel like to be competing at home for the first time?

My job on the boat is a very head down job and I’m happy to be solely focused 100 per cent on what I’m doing. But I don’t see it as extra pressure. There may be a bit of pressure, but we feel it gives us a boost and we can’t wait.

What can we expect to see at the Sail Grand Prix event?

You have 10 teams with these boats that go 100 km an hour in a really small space and whether you’re a sailor or not it’s amazing entertainment. There’s always drama, the speeds are high. Hopefully we don’t crash into each other but that does happen.
