Sick boat. Funky gunnel wings kick in near the shrouds, aft to the transom, I guess for a few extra inches of righting moment from the crew? Haven't seen that before, other than Fay and Disney eh?

Sorry, I'm calling bullshit. The single handers have large cabin tops because they have no crew!! Can you imagine 10 or 15 blokes scrambling around one of those huge monstrosities? Flush deck or small cabin top makes it much easier for the crew to get around and sheet the jibs in nice and tight. It's nice to have a bit of a cabin offshore but certainly not necessary.
And TP52's dont go offshore? bollocks. The last Worlds had two offshore races. Still in the med I know but a short chop will always throw more water over the deck than ocean swell. Have a look at the entry list for the hobart this year.... 5 or 6 TP52's. None of the Australian boats have had cabin mods, mostly just bowsprits and a few extra ring frames for Hobart. If you have a look at the med cup fleet this year the biggest influence on cabin top was structural.... have a look at Artemis.... their cabin runs all the way to the bow giving them a lot more structural strength for a tiny weight penalty. That allowed them to go much higher on the rig loads than anyone else....
Cabin tops make bugger all difference to crew saftey offshore. 90% of the time you are on the rail, the rest is in the cockpit or down below trying to sleep. Nice deep cockpits are what keeps the punters onboard.... which the S40 has definitely got. I'd take one offshore in a heartbeat!
Abbo,
Out.

Doesn't the TP in TP52 stand for TransPac? Which just so happens to be one hell of an OFFSHORE race?
The boat was design to race in class as well as in a future in the U.S., in IRC.
I am the owner of the second boat "patagonia", due out next week.
We created the boat for around the cans races both inshore as well as offshore.
We race the boats typically in the southern ocean, where in January is the Rolex Cup in Punta del Este, by the way a great event.
During the year is basically in Buenos Aires, and in July we race in Brazil, also in the Rolex Cup of Ilhabela.
The S40 is a very light boat (4200Kg) where 1800Kg is in the bulb.
All asym. are very large (180Sq meters) making very fast runs.
The idea behind the boat, was that we wanted something very fast and fun, we negotiated prices alot to make the boat easily affordable (for someone looking for a 36+ foot boat).
The boat in Argentina runs for Aprox. US$ 270K from the shipyard, including 30Hp volvo engine, and carbon mast and PBO rigging.it included everything except sails and instruments. I believe there is almost no duties to get the boat to the US, just the freight.
It is constructed by Mboats in Buenos Aires.
Just to make things clear I do not sell the boat, nor make money on it, we (Me and Cusi, the first boat out) just created the class to have fun, and we hired the design from Javier Soto, and made the design available for future members of the class.

What's the average time it takes for someone to get, 'What is it'? About 15 minutes (feels like it anyway).

Are there any polars available for this boat? The SA/D looks middle of the road at best.
