Orion 49 maiden trip
After her maiden trip, the Orion 49 sailed this summer along the Dutch coast. The first miles were succesfully, as well the living on board.
DC20
After building the prototype and requesting the required licenses, the production from the DC20 has started . The concept has been set up for the Chinese lakes for recreational use, sailing lessons and competitions. The boat will be built in polyester in Dalian. The yard will move soon to a new location.
Singlehanded version TEN
For a planned single-handed race in China with 6 boats we have made a proposal for a suitable boat for that. We have adapted the existing TEN with water ballast, a type of sprayhood, an autopilot, a central navigation unit and a rack for a liferaft, including a radar. All sheetsts, halyards and trimming lines were already centrally located around the cabin entree and only the backstay cleats are moved forward.

In Dalian (China) the DC20 (design 171) is launched and made the first trials. The boat is designed for sailing schools and rental especially on the lakes. There are plenty seats, the boat is safe and easy to sail. With an upgrade, such as a retractable gennakerboom, a maintrack and a trapeze, the boat can be used for racing. There is plenty of storage under the aft deck , for example for an outboard and sailing cloth. https://www.yacht-design.nl/designs/dc20defender/

Saffier Se37 Lounge
For Saffier Yachts in IJmuiden we made a design of a 37ft daysailer. Dean and Dennis Hennevanger of Saffier Yachts developed the concept and we created the design. The Saffier Se37 Lounge is a remarkable yacht, because the cockpit and interior are totally different as other yachts. The idea is a fast and good sailing daysailer, where the sailor can comfortable sail or lounge in the cockpit as well as in the interior. For this reason the steering wheels are in front of the cockpit and behind the wheels we created a large U-settee and sundeck. The interior is open and has comfortable seats. More information of design 175 is on the SYD-website or on the website of Saffier Yachts. The Yacht magazine published an article on the website.
TEN won ChinaCup 2016 in IRC-C division
During the last ChinaCup ‘Team Yomovo’ won the ChinaCup2016 in the IRC-C division. The first race from Hong Kong to Shenzhen was canceled because there was no wind and also the short upwind/downwind races on the Friday were canceled. On Saturday, three races were sailed in 20kts wind and on Sunday two races in 10kts wind. Team Yomovo, skippered by Martin Hingst scored three 1st places and two 2nd places.
