Vintage Key West

Take a look back at J H Peterson's photos from the very first Key West Race Week in 1987. There was lots of competition in the 50-foot class, along with an interesting mix of cruiser/racers in the Conch Republic.Photos: J H PetersonAccess SW's coverage of Quantum Key West 2013.

MC38 One Design

Best Grand-Prix One-DesignPhotos by Walter CooperThe MC38 One Design is a complete, modern grand-prix package, swimming in carbon and composites, and designed to do nothing else but tear around the cans at high-speed. As an excellent build out of McConaghy’s Chinese operation, the MC38, is presented as the upgrade for Farr 40 owners seeking a more contemporary design, and as a more substantial boat for Melges 32 owners that don’t have the athleticism for such a boat. Onboard, the MC38 feels like a lot more boat than either—it’s nearly 12 feet at maximum beam. With a flat deck and an open, uncluttered cockpit, a racing crew can just flow from rail to rail, as quickly as the boat goes into and out of tacks.There’s a long list of engineering details that may not be immediately obvious says its designer, Harry Dunning, and these are details (such as the deck framing and sprit’s butt-end support) that they carefully engineered to save weight but deliver stiffness. With composite rigging, high-end ropes, a functioning string-take down system for the spinnaker, mast jack, and lots more, the boat is sorted for high-end racing. Developing fleets in Australia, Europe, and Asia are already enjoying close racing.Read more about the MC 38 One Design here.

Motive 25R

Boat of the Year NomineePhotos by Walter CooperThe slick Motive 25R was a showstopper at the U.S. Sailboat Show in Annapolis (and the Newport International Boatshow where it was named best-in-show). In the BOTY fleet, it was certainly the most unique and most intriguing. According to Motive Trimaran founder Pete Ansel, a special-effects-specialist-turned-boatbuilder, the concept of the Motive 25R is based on the popularity of "raiding" (adventure racing/camping) in Europe, the desire to have something with the performance of a Weta Trimaran and trampoline space on which to sleep.Ansel also says the design emphasis was on "easy performance," so to achieve this there’s no boom to have to deal with, it has simple sail-control systems, and a clever way to remove the amas for trailering. The judges, however, couldn’t overlook two serious construction issues that appeared during the test sail: The center hull’s deck wasn’t cored so it flexed underfoot and creased beneath the gennaker winch when it was loaded (preventing them from flying the screecher), and the four synthetic cables between the main hull and the amas regularly dragged through the water (the angle of these, said designer Jeremy Wurmfeld, would be adjusted).The judges also felt that the rig (which did not have a mast rotator, which is important on multihulls) was too short, and as a result, the boat was underpowered. “This is one of those boats that’s great in concept but needs a lot more time in development and workup,” said Greg Stewart. “It wasn’t ready.”We hope to see a finished version for BOTY 2014 because the potential for something very cool is there in the waiting.

SeaRail 19

Boat of the Year NomineePhotos by Walter CooperThe SeaRail 19 is a pint-sized trimaran imported from Vietnam, built by a former Corsair Trimaran employee with imput from noted multihull designer Nigel Irens. The test boat was delivered straight from U.S. Customs, so its U.S. distributor, Bob Gleason, a multihull veteran, was on the water sorting it out before its test time. As we approached Gleason, he looked concerned and suggested the boat not be tested. “The [leeward] float is really burying, and there’s a lot of flexing in the forward beam,” he said. “I don’t think we should go through with this: The boat’s just not ready.”“Nonsense,” BOTY judge Chuck Allen responded before rolling onto the SeaRail’s trampoline like a Navy SEAL. Off the two of them went, with the screacher deployed, reaching across the bay at a high rate of speed. Gleason was right, though. The other judges looked on as the leeward ama submerged every time a gust filled the sails. After an hour and a half of hard sailing, however, the boat was perfectly intact and the judges were pleasantly surprised. “It was easy to sail, had a high fun factor to it,” said Rich. “If they cleaned up the construction and got the buoyancy right, they’d have something worth talking about. It’s almost there.”The standard pricing was quoted at $28,000.

Sparkman & Stephens 30

Best DaysailerPhotos by Walter CooperThe ultimate daysailing experience is different for everyone. For some of us, it might just be an afternoon spin around the bay, or a twilight sail with the family or significant other.For the BOTY judges, however, the ultimate daysailing experience should include the ability to just keep going—to let a day turn into two or more. The Sparkman & Stephens 30 is just the boat for that. Olin Stephens never drew a bad boat, and this remake of his 1930s pocket-sized ocean-racer, is a testament to his original vision of a simple, but quick and exciting experience under sail.A collaboration between Rhode Island yacht broker Bluenose Yacht Sales and C&C Fiberglass Components (which builds the J/70), the S&S 30 has excellent construction and quite a few clever adaptations to Stephen’s original. The cockpit is long and open, the interior comfortable and bright.Read more about the S&S 30 here.

Tartan Fantail

Boat of the Year NomineePhotos by Walter CooperAfter inspecting the Tartan Fantail at the dock, and being impressed with its construction quality, the judges had high expectations. And when winds kicked into the high-teens, just in time for its test sail, they were especially eager to see what this radical-looking daysailer could do. As is often the case, however, strong winds quickly reveal a boat’s weakest points. “The rudder had a ton of helm,” said judge Greg Stewart, “and most of the sheets were pretty tough to pull.”To be fair, the boat was a late entry, and had been fast-tracked out of the factory to make it to the boatshow. It hadn’t been sailed, the rig wasn’t tuned, and the systems were not yet sorted, but based on its aethetics and build quality, it's off to a good start.

RS Venture

Best Recreational DinghyPhotos by Walter CooperPile in the kids, or the adults, because there’s plenty of room in the versatile little RS Venture, which is ideal for sailing programs and families alike. With this 16-footer, RS Sailboats, of the United Kingdom, offers a $14,000 dinghy with excellent performance and handling, and construction quality that will live up to the demands of club-sailing programs (especially if you add the optional bumpers).RS’s experienced team of sailors and engineers sorted every little detail of this boat before bringing it to market—from the self-draining cockpit, to the optional weighted centerboard, masthead float, and simple sail-control systems—and the judges couldn’t find a single fault. It’s more than a recreational dinghy; it’s an excellent trainer, and has great potential for one-design racing, too.Read more about the RS Venture here.
