What Is It?

[Abbo]

I think if I remember right the trial certs came back at around 1.26 in IRC.

That's pretty steep, They will have to sail very well to beat that rating in a decent fleet. For reference Wedgetail is 1.209, Farr 40 OD is 1.189.

Does look very horny though!

Abbo,

Out.

Looks pretty good to us. The first correct "who, what and where" gets a Sharon Green Ultimate Sailing calendar from our friends at Ultimate Sailing. Have at it!

This is the first Soto 40 (Cusi 5) in Argentina

 

[pablolynn]

It's a Soto 40 recently launched in buenos aires!! The same designer of the Wally Alexia.

my question is why the jib battens aren't perpendicular to the leech. They look more perpendicular to the luff, which makes no sense. Moreover, they can't be furled with that set up.

who the fack furls the jib on a race boat ?????????????????

Abbo,

Out.

from the website, it seems like the goal is primarily one-design sailing.

might be hard to get much action beyond Argentina, but at that price, they have a good shot at a nice local fleet.

It is a nice looking boat, but it doesn't seem that offshore sailing was an important part of the design brief - can you imagine a wave washing over that deck...?

 

[BHowett]

Great looking boat.... but yet another new design with a sprit? Are they trying to phase proper bowmen out alltogether?

 

[Sol Rosenberg]

It's hull number 1 of the Javier Soto Acebal S40 in Argentina. I'm going to assume it's the owners, but I can't get their names.

Bingo.

Doesn't look any wetter than TP52 or VO60.

Some very cool features on this boat. I love the way they did the halyard clutches, very slick! Just some powder coating aways from awesome

Looks pretty horny - going to be a very wet ride. Hope they have a hard "dodger" solution in the works

TP 52's don't race offshore anymore (at least the new ones - are solely built for round the cans) - the ones converted to offshore racing have (mostly) added some sort of protection at the forward end of the cockpit

Volvo boats are very wet ( and i firmly believe is actually hampers their performance in nasty conditions as crew gets worn out at record pace) - Most open boats 40, 50, 60 have some massive hard dodgers built into the design

 

[bmercer]

maybe they did a hack job on the decks and added the hand/foot rails on the bow bit it looks like a turbo 1d35 I saw on youtube from frisco.

Every Open 60, Class 40, etc...... but I guess they are not up to your standards

 

[Trovão]

the soto 40 cusi 5 during it's first trials at the rio de la plata, near buenos aires, argentina.

 

[some dude]

what's it rate?

 

[Trovão]

what's it rate?

hot, really hot. :lol:

it's meant to be raced od so, afaik, no rating yet.

 

[bshores]

That is a damn hot boat, any of them coming to the states?

 

[some dude]

hot, really hot. :lol:

the Farr 36 OD fleet took off so well, it's a great idea to build another boat in that size/price range; timing is great too. do they need another investor?

look to see one in PHRF A on a racecourse near you
