Flax 27 - Exclusive Daysailer made of Natural Fiber Composite

The daysailer flax 27 doesn't feature just an excellent retro design, this lightweight boat is made of natural fiber composite (nfc).

Greenboats from Bremen, Germany builds boats made of natural fiber composite (NFC) – moreover, the green Bente 24, foiling kiteboard, skiff, and several onshore projects like a longboard, a camper cabin for a pickup truck and a case for wind turbines.

Daysailers are a rare sight on this channel, but a good second or third boat to the megayacht or a tender on the support vessel. It is faster ready to sail, or easy to navigate alone after a day of work. Furthermore, it can be placed near the owner’s primary residence and is easy to transport.

As the name implies, the boat’s primary material is flax. Additionally, the shipyard uses cork, recycled PET bottles, et cetera. Also, the optics of visible flax and the cork deck (grippy as teak) are a welcome variety. The electric motorboat X Shore Eelex 8000 uses a cork deck as well. Moreover, the superyacht industry adapts the technology – Baltic Yachts builds a 20m sailing yacht with flax called Baltic 68 Café Racer.

The Flax 27 is a retro design by the German yacht design studio judel/vrolijk, known for fast superyachts and successful racing yachts.

Natural Fiber Composite as hot new material

Using natural materials could be a new trend – also in the superyacht industry. Baltic Yachts announced the 68 feet Café Racer with the use of flax. With the projects named above, the material is proven in several projects. Sustainability becomes more and more important – even in construction materials, and the development goes forward.

I had the opportunity to test the boat with the CEO of Greenboats and a member of a team of the German sailing league. The sailing characteristics of the Flax 27 are excellent. The boat reacts quickly in very light winds and can be controlled agile – even single-handed.

The price of the Flax 27 is €149,500 (ready to sail).

Greenboats Flax 27

  • By David Schmidt
  • Updated: November 17, 2020

Greenboats Flax 27

The Flax 27 is a high-performance daysailer built by the German company GreenBoats using environmentally sustainable materials. Judel/Vrolijk & Co. drew the Flax 27′s slippery-looking lines, and GreenBoats built the sloop using natural fiber (reinforced) composites, which consist of linen fibers and flax-seed-oil-based epoxy rather than glass-reinforced plastics. GreenBoats also uses a vacuum-infusion process. The Flax 27′s core materials are created using recycled plastic bottles, and its deck is built with remnant wine corks.

“One-off projects are always difficult to calculate beforehand,” says Friedrich Deimann, GreenBoats’ CEO and founder, about the highest hurdle in creating the Flax 27. “We were very lucky with our client, who treated us like a partner. This allowed us to explore different alternatives during the build process and maximize the learning curve.”

While GreenBoats has initially focused on sailboats, there’s no reason that the company can’t use NFC to build high-performance, environmentally sustainable and sexy-looking power yachts. “Everything that’s built out of GRP can be build out of NFC,” Deimann says.

Flax 27: Cork decks and electric propulsion make this the most eco-friendly yacht

In the face of it there was nothing unusual about the Flax 27. Set in a corner of one of the 17 halls at Boot Düsseldorf at the beginning of this year, the 27ft cruising dayboat may well have been elegant and beautifully finished, but at the word’s biggest watersports show there were plenty of others like her.

So, as the visitors strolled past, her elegant lines, with a modern plumb bow and a classically styled counter stern, weren’t always sufficient to cause them to pause. Even the immaculate finish to her topsides wasn’t always enough to turn heads: perfection is commonplace at Boot.

Yet ironically, while the Flax 27 fitted in so well, she was fundamentally different to them all. She may not look eccentric, but this was the greenest boat at the show.

To the careful observer there were several clues on display: a bunch of dried flowers and a handful of seeds on the cork laid deck. But the biggest clue was the easiest to gloss over: her immaculately finished topsides, where a flawless clear resin provided a glistening finish to the woven fabric of the yacht’s structure. While it may have looked a little like carbon, that base material is in fact flax, encased in a resin that is made from linseed oil – which is also derived from the flax plant.

“Our focus was to build as green a boat as possible without compromising the structural properties,” said boatbuilder and Greenboats founder Friedrich Deimann. “In fact this boat is around 70kg lighter than if we had built it in glassfibre.”

Construction gains

Light weight is just the start. “The flax fibres are mainly grown in Belgium and France and are half the weight when compared to glassfibre. They also have great impact and abrasion resistance and don’t create any splinters when fractured,” he continued.

“The linseed epoxy resin is also derived mainly from the flax plant and provides an odourless resin that is infused into a sandwich laminate that uses a foam core derived from recycled PET [Polyethylene Terephthalate] bottles.”

The deck is built from another green material, cork, which offers several key benefits too. Providing good thermal, vibration and noise insulation the material has great non-slip properties and recovers well from any deformation.

“If you have a stone in your shoe, the cork springs back into shape where teak wouldn’t, and it is great at repelling water,” said Deimann. “It is also a more sustainable decking material as cork trees do not have to be felled during harvesting. Instead, they are peeled every nine to 12 years.”

In his boat building career so far, Deimann has worked with both traditional and modern materials. “I started out building wooden boats before moving into building tenders for superyachts,” he explained.

“I was really impressed with what was possible with modern composites but I had real problems with being itchy when I was using the resins, which were also really smelly. So I started to do some research to find better resins that might be comparable to the normal composite construction methods.

“We have spent the best part of ten years researching and building natural fibre composites (NFCs) where the fibres, cores and adhesives are derived from renewable and sustainable sources.

“Our goal has been to prove that boats of all shapes and forms can be built of NFC without sacrificing performance or durability, but we have also been able to prove that the whole construction process has been more environmentally friendly.

“The fact is that you need around five times more energy to produce glassfibre products than you do to create the flax fibres and it takes 20 times more energy to create carbon fibre, so there are some very big savings to be made. Plus we save on CO2 emissions as well.”

Modern classic

The boat itself is an elegant daysailer from the Judel/Vrolijk design office. She’s a simple configuration with a modern, high aspect ratio fractional rig, a 105% overlapping furling jib and a furling Code 0, both of which are flown off recessed furlers in the bow.

Sleek, clean and thoroughly modern, she’d make it onto plenty of wishlists irrespective of how she’s built. Add in green build values and the sustainable nature of a product that can also be recycled and there’s much going for this 27-footer, which can hold her own in any beauty parade.

So, where’s the catch? At this stage the only real stumbling block is cost. As with so many green-based developments there is currently a premium to pay.

“At this stage the materials are around 20-30% more expensive,” concedes Deimann. “But when you take this as a proportion of the overall build costs the increase isn’t so great.”

Greenboats Flax27

a daysailer with classic looks and innovative materials

Home / News / Greenboats Flax27

German boatbuilder  Greenboats , located in Bremen, have specialised in building boats from natural fibre composites.  The Flax 27 is their latest stroke of genius – a  daysailer with timeless design,   made  with   ampliTex ™  technical flax fabrics .

flax 27 sailboat for sale

Design and Performance  

The Flax 27’s  construction plans and  classic lines stem from  the renowned  design  team of  judel / vrolijk  & co .  From the onset, the goal of this project was to c ombine the  timeless design  with  sustainable  and innovative  high-tech  materials .   Ultimately though any boat needs to deliver out on the water and the Flax 27 does exactly that.  Th e   li ght structure and modern shapes of the lower hull   of  the boat result   in very fast, sharp and agile handling on the water.  

Sustainable High-Tech Materials  

Able to build on their experiences made with the  GreenBente ,  Greenboats  managed to  largely  build this unique  daysailer  from  natural and  recycled materials. The hull consists of flax fibres in the form of  Bcomp’s   ampliTex ™  technical fabrics paired with a sandwich core  consisting of  recycled PET bottles.  In a classic vacuum infusion process the  fibers  were infused with  a plant-based epoxy resin in order to  further reduce the CO2 footprint of the vessel.  The deck is covered in naturally beautiful and grippy  cork that presents a sustainable alternative to classic teak decking.  

About  Greenboats  

For the better part of the last decade the team of  Greenboats  has been investing a lot of time and effort to research ways  and technologies to replace traditional GFRPs in boat building with natural and sustainable alternatives.  Over the course of time and with various projects, such as the  GreenBente  and the most recent Flax 27 but also  non marine projects, the team have built a very profound knowhow when it comes to working wit h natural fibre reinforced plastics.  Current projects of  Greenboats  include a   nacelle  for an offshore wind turbine and a camping cab for pick-up trucks made from natural fibre composites.

In collaboration with Polestar, the Swiss company Bcomp has developed a fabric that will not only transform the interior of vehicles but also reshape our notions of luxury and design sustainably. Ross Kelk from Polestar's development department and Per Mårtensson, CRO of Bcomp, spoke at the Polestar Space Zurich about the joint journey from vision to market readiness. It's hard to imagine how a bundle of flax sitting in the corner can become an ultra-light, futuristic-looking interior material. The technology of the Fribourg-based company Bcomp, founded in 2011, makes this possible. The so-called Polestar Signature Weave combines a smooth surface with a grid-like structure on the back. The result is an adaptable but very robust material that will be used in various interior trimmings of the Polestar 3, such as in the seat backs. Compared to conventional plastic trim, this can save more than half of the petroleum-based raw materials. Additionally, the material shines with its unique lightness, and reduces vibrations by up to 250 percent. A Shared Mindset "Natural materials are extremely efficient when used and applied in the right way," says Per Mårtensson, Chief Revenue Officer of Bcomp. Flax is an easy-to-care-for and highly robust plant that has been used as a raw material for linen in the textile industry for millennia. Today, more than 80 percent of the global flax crop is cultivated in Europe. Bcomp's origins lie in skiing, where the innovative flax fabrics helped increase performance and reduce the weight while decreasing the use of petroleum-based plastics. "When we first saw the material, we knew that this technology perfectly aligns with Polestar's goals," recalls Ross Kelk, Head of Interiors R&D and Industrial Program Leader of Polestar's British development team. "Our companies shared the same goals, values, and a common mindset from the beginning." A New Aesthetic Initially, however, it was not clear how and where the material could be used. "We experimented, played, tried different things," Ross remembers. This applies not only to the material but also to the entire perception of luxury. "Traditionally, manufacturers associate it with exclusive materials like leather, veneered wood, and a lot of embellishments. However, we wanted to confidently place the material in the foreground and openly showcase it. Make sustainability a tangible, exclusive experience." Thus, the design team sought a new aesthetic that makes this fusion of design, minimalism, and sustainability palpable. Sustainability inspired the design team to a completely new aesthetic. From Prototype to Frozen Pizza From the handshake to the first finished product took several years. The path from the prototype to mass production is full of challenges. "On the one hand, natural materials always vary — no cherry wood table is the same as another," explains Per. "Here, we had to reconcile variation and quality." On the other hand, any change in the manufacturing process of a vehicle entails costs and risks. "Polestar fully supported our joint idea, convinced suppliers and partners, and integrated the new material into the production chain." Per compares the current process (admittedly somewhat simplified) to a frozen pizza: "We deliver the jointly developed base material for the Signature Weave to production. There, it is heated and shaped." The Next Generation Unlike a frozen pizza, the development phase does not end with the first market-ready product. "Usually, creative work is done when a new technology is introduced into the production process. In our collaboration, it's different: we use insights from the production process for new creative approaches and ideas. We think in generations, so to speak," says Ross. Several new applications are already being tested, performance and sustainability are being optimized, and the idea of a circular economy is gaining more focus. "Recycling will be a significant topic for us in the coming years. We have already proven it is feasible in small scale. but the infrastructure for large scale recycling is still missing," says Per. The beginning of another joint step into the future? We'll see...

ampliTex™ and powerRibs™ are terms that are becoming ever more common in the automotive industry. Debuting in the motorsport industry, and being used by the likes of BMW, Porsche, as well as the McLaren Formula 1 team, Bcomp’s innovative natural fibre composite technologies are now taking the production vehicle industry by storm, already being featured in the likes of the new Volvo EX30. Embracing Bcomp’s sustainable large-scale mobility solutions can enable up to 50% weight savings and up to 70% plastic reduction vs. the common injection moulding (IMPP) solution. So, let’s see what ampliTex™ and powerRibs™ are really about and why they have become synonymous with high-performance natural fibre composites and sustainable lightweighting. The Advantages of ampliTex™ and powerRibs™ ampliTex™ is a cutting-edge, lightweight natural fibre reinforcement fabric that offers numerous benefits for the large-scale automotive industry. It is made available as different types of fabric from UD to biaxial and twills, all the way to customised weaves and can be had as prepreg or dry reinforcement for thermoset applications or more importantly as ampliTex™-PP – a ready-to-use thermoplastic material. Notably, it stands out for its ability to infuse a modern and natural aesthetic into the design of your components. With a wide range of customisation options, it allows for a multitude of looks and colours, adding a touch of personalisation and uniqueness to each vehicle. The natural material adds character and soul that shine where synthetic materials like carbon and glass fibres suffer from a dead perfection. powerRibs™ on the other hand draw inspiration from the supporting 3D structure of leaf veins. They represent a groundbreaking patented composite technology that delivers an unmatched stiffness-to-weight ratio while using minimal base material. They can be used to reinforce almost any composite shell structure and in combination with many different composite materials and manufacturing processes.         Previous image Next image In automotive interiors, ampliTex™ can replace petrol-based materials, such as IMPP or traditional cover materials, which helps to reduce CO2 emissions during the production phase of a vehicle. It is compatible with standard production methods and, as a readily available drop-in solution, can simply be used in a traditional injection moulding tool to create a high-end part with a supreme visual quality directly from a one-step-process. When used in combination with well-established NFPP, ampliTex™ has significant weight reduction capabilities vs. the IMPP benchmark while providing a one-step production process that yields a high-end surface straight out of the tool. The aspect of lightweighting also helps reduce CO2 emissions produced during the use phase of the vehicle, as a lighter car consumes less energy to cover the same distance. powerRibs™-PP can either be used in combination with ampliTex™-PP and NFPP for a very lightweight mono-material solution or it can be used in conjunction with an NFPP layer and any standard cover material to provide lightweighting benefits even in areas that are not directly visible. Manufacturing interior components with the ampliTex™-PP and powerRibs™-PP technologies allows for up to 50% weight savings and up to 70% plastic reduction vs. the usual IMPP go-to solution. From the Fields of Europe to Your Everyday Vehicle The automotive industry stands among the largest contributors to global CO2 emissions. However, it's crucial to recognize that this environmental impact isn't solely limited to a vehicle's use phase. Indeed, a substantial portion of CO2 is emitted during both the production and the end-of-life stages of a vehicle's life cycle. Now, natural fibres composites, coming from flax plants that have been cultivated and used for centuries in Europe, could play a significant role in reducing the emissions and impact of the automotive industry.         Previous image Next image Production Process The production process of a car plays a significant role in contributing to CO2 emissions throughout its entire life cycle. Material emissions and energy intensive manufacturing steps add up to what results in the largest chunk of emissions for a state-of-the-art electric vehicle. In comparison to conventional IMPP parts with traditional cover materials, the innovative combination of ampliTex™-PP, NFPP and powerRibs™-PP presents a solution that slashes the quantity of CO2 emitted from cradle to gate by up to 60%. Not only does the Bcomp technology have a substantial positive environmental impact, but it also delivers practical benefits for large-scale production. Easily integrated into existing production lines, it can simplify manufacturing by eliminating certain steps. Creating parts with a perfect visual surface directly out of the mould allows to forego additional steps like the application of traditional cover materials. The possibility of implementing a one-step back injection process for local reinforcements and fasteners further enhances efficiency, allowing the solution to comply with tight time restrictions in mass production settings. Use Phase Beneath the captivating, modern and natural aesthetic of ampliTex™ with its unique character lie the true sustainability benefits of Bcomp’s materials. Weight savings of up to 50% on part level unfold their full effect throughout a car’s lifecycle and use phase. Every gram that is saved in an interior component helps the vehicle to consume less energy to travel a certain distance thereby contributing to a substantially lower amount of CO2 emissions during its use phase, without compromising on performance. End of Life Now, more than ever, considering the end-of-life phase of products holds paramount importance. Reducing the plastic content in parts by up to 70% thanks to the benefits of our renewable material solutions is already a big step but we don’t stop there. Components made with a mono-material combination of ampliTex™-PP, NFPP and powerRibs™-PP can easily be converted into a new base material at the end of their useful life. Shredding components and compounding them into flax-PP pellets creates a new base material for injection moulding processes. This means that parts made with Bcomp’s thermoplastic ampliTex™ and powerRibs™ materials can be completely recycled and repurposed to serve a 2nd life in another set of components. Polestar Precept seat with ampliTex™ and powerRibs™ Using the Bcomp Solutions Bcomp offers a diverse range of adaptable and customised product solutions to cater to a wide array of needs. Beyond cutting-edge sustainable technologies, Bcomp provides strong support and guidance, ensuring the seamless implementation of Bcomp innovations in both vehicles and production processes. Sustainable Lightweighting Designing parts to be manufactured with a combination of ampliTex™-PP and an NFPP base layer or ampliTex™-PP, NFPP and powerRibs™-PP as an additional reinforcement, allows you to make the most of our sustainable lightweighting potential. Replacing conventional IMPP components with our large-scale natural fibre technologies allows for up to 50% weight reduction, up to 70% less plastic use in the component and up to 60% lower CO2 emissions from cradle to gate.

Flax 27: update and restart of the eco-boat

The Flax 27 boat attracted the public almost immediately after its first show. However, just recently announced changes that will affect this model in the future.

History of Flax 27

Flax 27 was one of the most visible boats at Boot Düsseldorf back in 2019. Some consider the boat a small work of art. And not unreasonably!

In addition to the stylish appearance, the boat distinguished itself in two ways. The first is the materials that were used in the creation. The second is driving performance. The Greenboats manufacturing company managed to create a fairly strong and fast boat. 

Features of the "green" boat

The essence of Flax 27 has remained unchanged - it is a classic day-seller. Small, comfortable, fast… All these epithets are about this boat. But the main trump card, of course, was the materials from which the boat was made. 

Flax, non-pigmented resin, sandwich panels with a cardboard core, matting and much more were used for the body. All these materials are recyclable and environmentally friendly. We can say that the 27th is a classic representative of the “green” yachts. 

Despite the external, let's say, elegance, the boat is quite strong and reliable. However, a day-seller does not require a super-heavy and ultra-strong case.

What has changed?

The first thing that catches your eye is a more spacious open cockpit and a reinforced hull. These are the biggest external differences. The most interesting is hidden behind the scenes.

The company has updated its production policy. Now the boat of this model will have a shorter production cycle. Instead of 3,000 hours per boat, the shipyard will spend only 1,000. This will help launch the yacht in a truly massive way. 

To some extent, Greenboats considers the Flax 27 as an analogue of the Tesla Roadster, but, as they say, “from the people and for the people.” The 27 is much closer to classic yachts both in design and concept.

Modern daysailers

1. saffier se 33 ud.

Saffier Yachts now has eight designs between 21ft and 37ft. The investment and knowhow the Hennevanger brothers have put into the production facility really shows too – the vacuum-infused builds and finish quality are top class.

Saffier builds seaworthy designs , tests all new models thoroughly in the North Sea and ensures its yachts can be sailed easily single-handedly.

best-daysailer-yachts-Saffier-33-SE

Launched in 2014, the Saffier Se 33 is a sporty design but with a practical self-draining cockpit and optional solid sprayhood, which help it handle most weather conditions. It has a fast underwater shape, a generous sailplan and a fixed carbon bowsprit. The extra-large cockpit features 2m benches and a folding transom and there is space enough for four to sleep below.

Saffier’s brand new Se 27 also looks like a seriously fun design and has been averaging speeds in the mid-teens with the kite up, clocking over 20 knots in its early trials this spring.

Prices for the Se 33 start at €114,500 (ex. VAT).

2. Domani S30

The S30, launched in 2018, is Belgian company Domani’s first model – a trailable sportsboat designed to be comfortable, fast and beautiful, says founder Michael Goddaert.

Inspired by Riva’s Aquarama motor boat , it has a large minimalist cockpit, spacious aft sunbed and a classy-looking compact interior. The narrow-beamed S30 weighs only 1,700kg, is offered with a long, two-part carbon rig, and has an electric drive as standard. A Lounge version is being developed which is similar to the Tofinou 9.7 in terms of deck layout.

best-daysailer-yachts-Black-Pepper-Code-0.1

3. Black Pepper Code 0.1

Those lucky enough to have sailed at Les Voiles de St Tropez may have seen these neo-classic daysailers from chic brand Black Pepper.

As well as this range of Code-branded daysailers/weekenders, the yard has just launched a new Sam Manuard-designed, scow-bowed IMOCA 60 for Armel Tripon’s Vendée Globe campaign.

The original Code 0, by Marc Lombard, is a high-performance dayboat with a distinctive squared coachroof, which is built light in carbon and epoxy with half its displacement in the keel bulb.

A new Code 0.1 version (pictured) launched last year, and is available in Open and Spirit (performance/regatta) versions.

Price ex. VAT: £148,000.

4. A-Yachts A27 / A33

A-Yachts founder. Michael Gilhofer helped to develop the original B30 (pictured below) and was distributor for B-Yachts in Germany for 17 years. He commissioned the in-demand Lorenzo Argento, who formerly worked with Luca Brenta, to design a new range of luxury daysailers built in Slovenia and finished in Austria.

The first two A-Yachts models (the A27 is pictured above) are focused on performance daysailing, whereas B-Yachts has gone for more cruising comfort below. An exciting new model, the A39, is due for launch in 2021.

Prices ex. VAT: A27 €98,500, A33 €215,000.

best-daysailer-yachts-B-Yachts-B30

5. B-Yachts B30 / B34

The Brenta B30 is the iconic Italian daysailer. A real looker to keep berthed at your Portofino residence, it has a lightweight carbon/epoxy build and a high ballast ratio, for tantalising light airs sailing. B-Yachts is the brand that took the daysailing concept to the limit with the fiendishly indulgent (and very white) B60, which we tested, open-mouthed, back in 2008.

Although stagnant for some years, the company was acquired by Luca Brenta’s cousin Alberto Castiglioni in late 2018. Brenta, along with designer Alessia Lee, has worked up the design for a new B34 model due to launch this year, and they are now working on a B40.

The B30 (above) is now a modern classic, with more than 40 built, but the refreshed company has made some upgrades including a new rudder profile, fixed bowsprit, revised deck gear, a more functional interior and the option for an electric engine. But it’s still got those killer lines.

Prices ex. VAT: B30 €118,000, B34 €190,000.

best-daysailer-yachts-Esse-330

6. Esse 330

This is the sixth model from Josef Schuchter’s yard on Lake Zurich, which builds fast, stiff and sporty designs. The new 330 is the first Esse that offers the ability for weekend/overnight sailing. Schuchter told us it is designed more for pleasure sailing than racing but has the same performance as the yard’s 990, using a 1m shorter mast and with greater stability and comfort.

Umberto Felci designed the 330 with a self-tacking jib, a carbon deck-stepped mast with no backstay and a high ballast ratio to help ensure it can easily be sailed short-handed. A lifting keel reduces draught to 1.55m and an electric drive is offered.

Price ex. VAT: €134,000.

best-daysailer-yachts-Flax-27

A plumb stem and square coachroof give an alluring pilot classic style to this Judel/Vrolijk design, but it is the materials from which it is crafted that are most intriguing. Built by Bremen-based Greenboats, the flax (plant) or linen (fibre) is vacuum-infused with bio epoxy and can be given a clearcoat finish to help show off the fibres.

The focus is on weight-saving for this performance daysailer, using recycled PET as the core material. The deck is made from cork, the ropes are made entirely from recycled plastic bottles and the sails are recyclable.

Price ex. VAT, ready to sail: €126,000.

Modern-classic daysailers

8. eagle 38.

The Boersma brothers founded Leonardo Yachts in the northern part of the Netherlands to build top quality gentleman’s daysailers and weekenders.

Its range of gorgeous designs are inspired by the timeless lines and overhangs of the J Class , but with modern appendages.

The new Hoek-designed Eagle 38 is the smallest of a range that now extends to 70ft. It is devised for easy handling, with jib winches in reach of the helmsman/tiller, in a deep self-draining cockpit that can seat six in comfort.

The varnished mahogany interior can sleep three and includes cooking facilities and a neatly hidden toilet.

Price ex. VAT: €177,500.

best-daysailer-yachts-Wallynano-MKII

9. Wally Nano MkII

Wally stunned us with the unveiling of its incomparable Nano in 2009. The Andre Hoek-designed masterpiece certainly elevated the standard of extravagance (and price) for a daysailer. This Wally Nano MkII model released eight years later is a refined version of the achingly cool design, which marries Italian styling with Dutch workmanship and ingenuity.

A pilot cutter-influenced plumb bow, bowsprit and low, squared coachroof set off a retro style, finished by an elegantly overhanging counter. These classic lines meet contemporary construction and attention to detail at Joop Doomernik’s traditional Dragon building yard. The top class composite work includes a keel grid built from 33 layers of carbon. Believe me, the result on the water is a truly intoxicating ride, both upwind and down!

Price ex. VAT: €390,000.

10. Rustler 33

The Stephen Jones design has the elegant lines and overhangs of the Cornish yard’s earlier Rustler 24, but with a comfortable handmade interior that makes it enticing to overnight on too – there is a proper heads compartment including wet hanging area.

With the addition of stanchions, this becomes a Class B offshore yacht. It’s a stiff boat to sail with a deep, dry cockpit, in which it is comfortable to sit, perch on the chunky coaming or stand to handle the tiller.

Rustler says recent clients for the Rustler 33 are ordering them with carbon masts and electric engines.

Price ex. VAT: £165,000.

best-daysailer-yachts-Morris-29

11. Morris 29

Fusing S&S lines with modern lightweight materials such as carbon and epoxy, the Morris 29 is a quintessential daysailer that’s easy to rig and maintain, a witch to sail and is as handsome as they come.

And there’s a deep, long cockpit and comfortable saloon below to keep any guests content while you hog the tiller. Now built by Hinckley and priced from US$266,500.

best-daysailer-yachts-alerion-33

12. Alerion 28 / 33

Cleverly marketed as ‘the 90-minute’ getaway, the iconic Alerion daysailer fleet, from 20-33ft, is designed to get people afloat easily and with the most enjoyment possible. Above is the Alerion 33.

Often seen sporting optional Hoyt jib booms, the models are easy and a delight to sail and have inviting and well-finished interiors.

Rarely do beauty, speed and single-handed ease combine this fluidly and successfully. Prices are available on application only.

best-daysailer-yachts-Friendship-40

13. Friendship 36 / 40

The elegantly timeless look of the Friendship 40, its classic lines, including pronounced tumblehome and wineglass counter, are by Rhode Island’s Ted Fontaine. A Friendship’s deep cockpit and wonderfully inviting and well-appointed interior invite you to sail on through the weekend and beyond.

Fontaine says both the 36 and 40 are still available to order, but at top prices: “The Friendship 40 would be built by Yachting Developments in New Zealand where the moulds are presently stored,” (priced in the region of US $1,350,000).

“And the Friendship 36 is being offered as a cold-moulded wood epoxy built boat that would be built by Rockport Marine in Maine – the yard that built the first 36.”

The quest for eco composites.

By Hans Buitelaar , Dec 2, 2020

Applying Filava cloth

Working with eco composites, the build crew at Innovation Yachts in Les Sables d’Olonne, France, applies Filava fiber to the balsa-cored hull of the Open 60 Ant Arctic Lab, a racing yacht intended to be fully recyclable.

Boat yards and design offices embrace new fibers and resins that promise to reduce pollution, consume less energy in production, and yield composite boats that can be recycled.

“It is going to be a big eight,” said skipper Norbert Sedlacek describing his planned solo nonstop sailing journey to prove the durability and go-anywhere quality of his new brand, Innovation Yachts. The Austrian sailor and filmmaker plans to sail from France through the Northwest Passage around Canada and Alaska, head south over the Pacific Ocean, go left around Cape Horn, circle Antarctica, come around Cape Horn again, and set course north to return to France over the Atlantic Ocean—a 34,000-nautical-mile world-record attempt.

His first attempts at this route around the Americas and Antarctica in 2018 and 2019 ended when equipment problems forced a return to France. His 2020 attempt was foiled by the COVID-19 lockdown when Canadian authorities denied permission to cross through the Northwest Passage, so Sedlacek again postponed. Fortunately, our primary interest is really in his boat, not the voyage.

Innovation Yachts’ First Builds with Volcanic Fibers

The boat he plans to sail on this challenging trip is the Open 60 (18.29m) Ant Arctic Lab , which he designed and built to be fully recyclable. It is Innovation Yachts ’ first build in cored-composite construction using balsa-wood panels for the core and volcanic-rock fiber—basalt and solidified lava—for the skin laminates. (The resin is a purpose-engineered epoxy.) The result is a yacht that required less energy to build and employs natural and renewable materials as much as possible. And at the conclusion of its useful sailing life, all the yacht’s composite materials can be separated and processed for reuse in another boat or some other composite construction. (See also Butterfly 46: A Yacht for 2050 )

Besides his own quest as an ocean racer, Sedlacek aims to illustrate that yacht building can be sustainable. “To start something new, you need to gain trust. I want to prove that building yachts from natural and recyclable materials results in better boats. If I can complete this immense trip, rounding the Americas and Antarctica, that will show the ruggedness of the boat,” he said.

Sedlacek and his partner, Marion Koch, founded Innovation Yachts in 2016, in the French harbor town and yachting hot spot Les Sables d’Olonne. While informed by some idealistic thinking, their plan to build ocean­going yachts from natural materials is also powered by a surfeit of practical building and sailing experience. Sedlacek’s first solo circumnavigation was in 1996 on the 26 ‘ (7.92m) composite boat Oase II he built himself. His next challenge was building an aluminum yacht to circumnavigate Antarctica through ice-fouled waters. He completed that in 2000 on Oase III . In 2009, he became the first Austrian to finish the Vendée Globe, the iconic French solo nonstop race around the world. Before he could compete in that race, he engineered modifications to the aluminum and composite construction of Austria One to bring her into compliance with International Monohull Open Class Association (IMOCA) 60 design rules.

Next, he created the concept and design and then served as project manager for the 91 ‘ (27.74m) aluminum luxury cruising yacht Bellkara , a sloop with a lifting keel built in 2016 at the Conrad Shipyard in Gdansk, Poland.

Eco composite hull with balsa core

Ant Arctic Lab’s lightweight structural core of FSC-certified balsa wood from 3A Composites also provides a measure of sound and thermal insulation to the hull.

Innovation Yachts’ plan since 2016 has been to prove the concept of quality yacht building with a low carbon footprint and fully recyclable materials. Technical Director Marion Koch had written her master’s thesis on the hydromechanics and material properties of IMOCA 60 ocean-racing yachts. Together with Sedlacek and working with her company, Yacht Construction Consulting in Altlengbach, Austria, they introduced volcanic fiber into boatbuilding. The first marine application of the laminate was in the 4.9m Open 16 sloop Fipofix . Sailing this small boat in 2013–14, Harald Sedlacek, Norbert’s son, claimed three world records crossing the Atlantic from Europe to North America and back. (Fipofix, or Fiber Positioning Fixation, is a patented method of processing volcanic fibers into unidirectional fabric, explained below.)

Eco Composite Products and Processes

While modern, the design of Ant Arctic Lab is not dramatically different from other ocean-racing yachts. Recyclability comes largely from its materials. The hand-laid hull is a conventional balsa-cored composite structure. Balsa is super-lightweight, with good strength, stiffness, sound-dampening, and thermal-insulation properties. Innovation Yachts’ balsa supplier, 3A Composites , harvests from Forest Stewardship Council–certified plantations in Ecuador. Because balsa trees grow to 98.43 ‘ (30m) high and 3.28 ‘ (1m) in diameter in just five years, the planting-to-harvest cycle is so short it causes no measurable deforestation, making it a sustainable and quickly renewable resource. As it is absorbent, it also provides an excellent bond with the fiber and resin layer.

The innovation comes from the fiber, a laminate textile called Filava, made of volcanic rock and produced by the Belgian company Isomatex . Volcanic rock is melted at high heat and drawn into fibers, resulting in a strong, water-repellent, lightweight material that resists high temperatures and chemicals. Filava is available as unidirectional fiber tows and as woven fabric. Although the largest European production facility in the town of Gembloux, southeast of Brussels, opened in 2008, volcanic rock fiber has previously been used in composite windmill blades, airplane and car parts, and sports gear.

Cutting Filava cloth fo eco composite lamiante

Cutting the woven Filava fiber from Belgian composite supplier Isomatex. To produce the fiber from basalt and lava rock, the raw materials are melted at high temperature and drawn into fibers that are then processed as unidirectional fibers or woven roving

Volcanic fiber has a melting point of 2,516ºF (1,380ºC), meaning that walls and doors made of Filava can be applied as fire-protection barriers. The fiber also absorbs vibrations and is highly shock resistant. Innovation Yachts considers laminates from volcanic fiber comparable in strength to carbon fiber but at a lower cost, which would make it a desirable boatbuilding material.

Made from basalt rock and other natural components, Filava’s fibers compare favorably to other more common fibers in composite construction: high impact resistance like aramid or Kevlar, better elasticity than fiberglass and carbon, resistance to acid and alkaline environments, and no galvanic corrosion where it’s in contact with metals.

In Isomatex’s proprietary process, raw materials are carefully mixed in a computer-assisted blender and transported by a pneumatic conveyor to the electric induction furnace to melt and refine the lava. The complex process requires high temperatures. The electric furnaces operate two to three times more efficiently than oxy-fuel or gas-fired alternatives. While Filava consumes less energy to produce than do most carbon fibers, it requires more than flax or glass fiber does.

Recognizing that the main dis­advan­tage of raw volcanic fiber is its fragility, Koch’s Yacht Construction Consulting and Norbert Sedlacek, in collaboration with the Austrian telecommunications and logistics company Kapsch, developed a patented process called Fiber Positioning Fixation, or Fipofix. The technique processes the brittle, touchy volcanic fibers into rugged unidirectional fabric purpose-built for marine applications. Other conventional assembly methods (weaving, stapling, and sewing) damaged as much as 40% of the roving filaments, decreasing the product’s performance under compressive and tensile loads. Fipofix bonds the positioned fibers to the respective matrix in the mold for final processing without using foreign materials such as yarns, clamps, or other adhesives that additionally weaken the part. The Fipofix proof of concept was Harald Sedlacek’s record-breaking Atlantic crossing in the Open 16 of the same name.

Custom Epoxies

The composite’s third and final component is the resin. Innovation Yachts chose the resin supplier bto-epoxy (Build to Order, in Amstetten, Austria), an innovative company producing custom epoxies since 2012. The resin shows no shrinkage, contains no harmful solvents, and is intended to remain with the fiber and balsa beyond the end of a yacht’s life, allowing all three materials to be reused. Koch: “We will not heat the epoxy, as it will take a lot of energy to heat all of the materials to the melting point. A lot of the material will then be burnt, so will not be available for recycling anymore. Yet the remaining fibers will be shredded and only need a bit of epoxy to be applied again.” Innovation Yachts has tested the reusability of shredded fibers recovered from composite test panels for the Ant Arctic Lab by incorporating them into non-load-bearing components for new boats, including the dashboard of a yacht tender.

As bto-epoxy is processed from fossil oil, Sedlacek explains this somewhat counterintuitive choice for a yacht largely built with renewable components and materials: “We do not want to use any material that is not developed for yacht building. Yes, there are ‘green’ epoxies available, but they do not have the same properties yet as the resins made out of fossil oil. We do not want to use any construction materials in the hull that are not specially produced for maritime use, or that don’t outperform the ones commonly used in maritime applications.” In some parts of the interior, Innovation Yachts uses epoxy made of vegetable oil, but Sedlacek says it lacks the material properties to have the endurance, water resistance, and impact absorption that the bto-epoxy offers. “As soon as an epoxy resin is developed out of renewable resources that does have the right properties, we will use it,” he said.

Sedlacek is confident of his vision and the leading role his company intends to play: “When an Innovation Yachts hull comes back to the yard after its 30-year lifetime, or even longer, the owner should be getting money for the materials that can be derived from the boat. They have value because of the reusability.”

Sedlacek says he’s looking for long-term investors, because it “takes time to develop something new.” He is convinced that Innovation Yachts is on the right track ushering in an era of more sustainable materials in boatbuilding. “Our new technology is better and cheaper, and recyclable. Massproduction yards will follow. I am convinced they will need to.”

Scaled Up at Amer

Amer Yachts , builder of motor­yachts from 20m to 30m (65.6 ‘ to 98.4 ‘ ) in San Remo, Italy, chose Filava for their composite hulls. As the super­yacht industry requires class society certification, the yard has started a cooperation with the Italian composites company GS4C to test and further develop composites from the recyclable fiber. Class societies ENEA (the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development) and RINA (Registro Italiano Navale, the Italian class society for ship safety certification) are studying Filava’s properties to assess durability. As this certification takes time, the Amer yard will introduce the new fiber in small steps. First, it will be used in nonstructural components. Following successful application, more parts may be constructed from the volcanic fiber.

Eco composite cat design Study

A rendering of the proposed sailing beach cat for La Bella Verde charter company. The final boat is intended to be sailed by a professional captain and as many as 11 guests. Auxiliary propulsion and onboard power are provided by electricity from solar panels.

An Eco Composite Beach Cat

To provide the most sustainable boats possible, the founders of the yacht charter company La Bella Verde tapped Innovation Yachts to design, engineer, and build their new 10.6m (35 ‘ ) sailing beach catamaran. The boat accommodates 11 guests and a professional captain, with ample space to relax on the trampoline. There is a head in one of the hulls, a fridge, and a sound system—requisite items for beach-hopping in the Bal­earic Islands, where these new catamarans will be chartered at waterside locations on Ibiza and Formentera.

La Bella Verde set out to prove that ecologically benign boating can be a modern, fun luxury experience. Maarten Bernhart, one of the three founders, explains how the company started in 2014: “We bought one open catamaran and converted it to electric propulsion for getting out and into harbors. We continued to convert more open catamarans to green electric-propelled boats [and] sold about seven refitted beach cats.” In search of a suitable day charter catamaran, Bernhart said he found a Rush 10 (32.8 ‘ ) owned by a former builder, and the company bought the molds to build and sell these cats.

Looking for a boat with an even smaller environmental footprint, La Belle Verde teamed up with Innovation Yachts’ Sedlacek and Koch. With a new design ready, the first boats started being built at the Innovation Yachts yard in 2020. They are a sandwich composite of FSC-certified balsa core—made with Filava and bto-epoxy skin laminates. “We offer the La Bella Verde cat to small charter companies that want to stand out with a nonpolluting boat,” Bernhart said. “And we will expand our own fleet with those catamarans.”

Flax 27 Deck Detail

A deck detail of the port quarter of the Judel/Vrolijk-designed Flax 27 illustrates the superb aesthetic qualities of the sustainable building materials— clear-finished flax-fiber composite and cork decking—that Green- Boats (Bremen, Germany) selected for the performance daysailer.

Flax Fiber and Linseed-Oil Epoxy

Friedrich Deimann, founder of Green­Boats , a start-up boatbuilding company in Bremen, Germany, calculates that it takes five times as much energy to produce glass fiber rovings, and 20 times as much to make carbon fiber, compared to growing and making fibers from flax. “It is really not nice to work on the construction of composite yachts built in the conventional way,” he said. “The glass fiber or carbon fiber is invasive to the body. The resins and solvents are toxic. Still, after having built a lot of handcrafted wooden sailboats, I was attracted to the possibility of building strong and lightweight in composite. So, when I found flax as a possible fiber, I was eager to use it.”

Infusing the eco composite Flax 27

The high resin absorption rate of the flax fiber makes hand lamination challenging. Resin infusion at GreenBoats allows for better control of the ultimate resin/ fiber ratio.

Next, researching a sustainable core material for sandwich composites eventually led him to cork. It is lightweight, does not absorb water, and has good impact resistance. The hardest ingredient to find was a nonpetrochemical resin. Linseed-oil-based epoxies are available, but most of them do not generally yield the watertightness, durability, stiffness, and shock absorption required in yacht construction. But after extensive testing, Deimann found the right linseed-oil-based epoxy to bind a unique composite of flax fibers and cork core together. In that quest, he said he has tried numerous epoxy resins. The tested epoxies range between 20% and 80% bio-content and are produced by multiple resin manufacturers. Some are better optimized for hand layup, while others are best for infusing, he says. In short, the best resin depends on the material qualities of the fiber and the structure it is being applied to.

The most recent tangible manifestation of Deimann’s research, the Judel/Vrolijk-designed Flax 27 daysailer, is also the boatbuilder’s most complete natural-fiber composite project to date. Finding just the right combinations of flax cloth and linseed-oil epoxy provided the solution for that build. Because flax fully absorbs the resin but is lighter than glass, the resulting laminate can be quite dense. Together with a good core material, the flax/epoxy laminate yields a composite Deimann says is good for building boats. He warns that the high resin absorption rate makes hand lamination of flax material a challenge. He prefers to use resin infusion which better controls the resin/fiber ratio. But he depends on using tightly twisted flax fibers in a dense weave that has high surface density and leaves little space for extra resin to pool between the yarns.

Cutting Flax Fiber

Because the fiber naturally absorbs wet resin, a dense textile weave of tightly twisted flax strands is best for most composite uses.

When they started building the first flax composite boat by hand in a shed with a group of friends and no budget, Deimann and his co-workers had to prove that natural materials could result in an even better composite boat than those made out of petrochemical sources. They’ve come a long way with the 2019 introduction of the much-praised daysailer Flax 27 (8.2m) weighing just 2,645.55 lbs (1,200 kg). GreenBoats offers a choice of core material: cork, or foam from recycled PET soda bottles.

While boatbuilding and sailing remain its focus, the company’s production use of natural-resource composites reaches many other industries, including power generation, automotive, architecture, and outdoor sports. “We do a lot of prototyping to introduce other companies to the use of natural-fiber-reinforced composites,” Deimann said. “The materials selected and the manufacturing process depend on the requirements for the product: life expectancy, quantities, mechanical requirements, etc. This is where the journey with our customers begins, and together we work out various options and compare them in costs, performance, and sustainability.”

Testing eco composite laminate

GreenBoats has conducted extensive testing to determine the structural properties and the best combinations of sustainable fiber, resin, and core material, such as this flax/cork sandwich composite.

Big Companies Invest in Eco Composites

While the first yards to explore the practicality of building boats from recyclable or sustainable composite materials had to search for the right resins, the large resin manufacturers—often petrochemical companies—are now developing and introducing recyclable and bio-based resins. While I was writing this article, the French chemical company Arkema gave me a questionnaire about the need for eco-resins and the demands boatbuilders would have for such a bio-epoxy. Within weeks, the outcome of the poll and the company’s answers were shared. Arkema has been working to improve its Elium thermoplastic resins to make them recyclable. The resin, though still fossil-oil based, can be separated from the fiber and core material at the end of a boat’s service life.

In practice, composites recycling can be done in two ways: mechanical and chemical. Mechanical is grinding the composite into small pieces and reusing them as a filler material that can be bonded by adding new resin. The chemical approach is to heat the composite so the Elium resin will melt out of the fibers. The resulting crude recycled monomer can be distilled into pure recycled monomer, which can be used as a resin to build new composites.

The Flax 27 daysailer is an effective proof of the materials and build process for the flax/epoxy boats. It’s also an attractive hull and rig design that performs well, which is vital for a model intended as a production-built consumer product.

Global composites supplier Gurit has been working with Swiss high-tech start-up Bcomp, which produces flax fiber. Products now sold through Gurit’s broad distribution networks are Bcomp’s ampliTex and powerRibs. The latter is a structure of flax fibers inspired by the veins of tree leaves to create extra stiff structures at minimal weight. Gurit also sells foam-core material from recycled PET soda bottles; and in its Ampro epoxy resin line, the company offers Ampro Bio, a plant-oil-based epoxy containing roughly 40% plant oil and 60% fossil oil. While none of these fibers, core material, and epoxies are designed for recycling, after being shredded at the end a boat’s service life, the composites may have a second application as material for nonstructural parts—much like the reuse of Filava composites described by Koch.

Flax 27: Cork decks and electric propulsion make this the most eco-friendly yacht

Flax 27: Cork decks and electric propulsion make this the most eco-friendly yacht Flax 27 Greenboats sustainable yacht running shot credit Jozef Kubica 300x188 1 BB Yacht Charter Marbella

The Flax 27 is a Judel/Vrolijk-designed daysailer built using flax and linseed resin. Matthew Sheahan takes a closer look

Flax-27-Greenboats-sustainable-yacht-running-shot-credit-Jozef-Kubica

In the face of it there was nothing unusual about the Flax 27. Set in a corner of one of the 17 halls at Boot Düsseldorf at the beginning of this year, the 27ft cruising dayboat may well have been elegant and beautifully finished, but at the word’s biggest watersports show there were plenty of others like her.

So, as the visitors strolled past, her elegant lines, with a modern plumb bow and a classically styled counter stern, weren’t always sufficient to cause them to pause. Even the immaculate finish to her topsides wasn’t always enough to turn heads: perfection is commonplace at Boot.

Yet ironically, while the Flax 27 fitted in so well, she was fundamentally different to them all. She may not look eccentric, but this was the greenest boat at the show.

Flax-27-Greenboats-sustainable-yacht-gunwhales-credit-Jozef-Kubica

The pigment-free resin and rolled gunwales show off the pattern of the woven flax cloth. Meanwhile, t he Flax 27’s foam core is produced from recycled PET used in the manufacture of plastic bottles

To the careful observer there were several clues on display: a bunch of dried flowers and a handful of seeds on the cork laid deck. But the biggest clue was the easiest to gloss over: her immaculately finished topsides, where a flawless clear resin provided a glistening finish to the woven fabric of the yacht’s structure. While it may have looked a little like carbon, that base material is in fact flax, encased in a resin that is made from linseed oil – which is also derived from the flax plant.

“Our focus was to build as green a boat as possible without compromising the structural properties,” said boatbuilder and Greenboats founder Friedrich Deimann. “In fact this boat is around 70kg lighter than if we had built it in glassfibre.”

Construction gains

Light weight is just the start. “The flax fibres are mainly grown in Belgium and France and are half the weight when compared to glassfibre. They also have great impact and abrasion resistance and don’t create any splinters when fractured,” he continued.

“The linseed epoxy resin is also derived mainly from the flax plant and provides an odourless resin that is infused into a sandwich laminate that uses a foam core derived from recycled PET [Polyethylene Terephthalate] bottles.”

The deck is built from another green material, cork, which offers several key benefits too. Providing good thermal, vibration and noise insulation the material has great non-slip properties and recovers well from any deformation.

“If you have a stone in your shoe, the cork springs back into shape where teak wouldn’t, and it is great at repelling water,” said Deimann. “It is also a more sustainable decking material as cork trees do not have to be felled during harvesting. Instead, they are peeled every nine to 12 years.”

Flax-27-Greenboats-sustainable-yacht-cork-deck-credit-Jozef-Kubica

Cork decks look traditional while offering a non-slip and a durable finish. Cork is also used as the sandwich material in other areas of construction, and has good noise and thermal insulation properties

In his boat building career so far, Deimann has worked with both traditional and modern materials. “I started out building wooden boats before moving into building tenders for superyachts,” he explained.

“I was really impressed with what was possible with modern composites but I had real problems with being itchy when I was using the resins, which were also really smelly. So I started to do some research to find better resins that might be comparable to the normal composite construction methods.

“We have spent the best part of ten years researching and building natural fibre composites (NFCs) where the fibres, cores and adhesives are derived from renewable and sustainable sources.

“Our goal has been to prove that boats of all shapes and forms can be built of NFC without sacrificing performance or durability, but we have also been able to prove that the whole construction process has been more environmentally friendly.

“The fact is that you need around five times more energy to produce glassfibre products than you do to create the flax fibres and it takes 20 times more energy to create carbon fibre, so there are some very big savings to be made. Plus we save on CO2 emissions as well.”

Modern classic

The boat itself is an elegant daysailer from the Judel/Vrolijk design office. She’s a simple configuration with a modern, high aspect ratio fractional rig, a 105% overlapping furling jib and a furling Code 0, both of which are flown off recessed furlers in the bow.

Flax-27-Greenboats-sustainable-yacht-prow-furlers-credit-Jozef-Kubica

Both the 105% headsail and Code 0 are fitted to manually operated furlers that are mounted below deck

Sleek, clean and thoroughly modern, she’d make it onto plenty of wishlists irrespective of how she’s built. Add in green build values and the sustainable nature of a product that can also be recycled and there’s much going for this 27-footer, which can hold her own in any beauty parade.

So, where’s the catch? At this stage the only real stumbling block is cost. As with so many green-based developments there is currently a premium to pay.

“At this stage the materials are around 20-30% more expensive,” concedes Deimann. “But when you take this as a proportion of the overall build costs the increase isn’t so great.”

Flax-27-Greenboats-sustainable-yacht-rudder-credit-Jozef-Kubica

The rudder is mounted in a removable cassette system, which is easily unsecured using two locker-type catches

Given that no change in build procedure or specialist equipment is required, the future for such an eco-friendly composite construction system would seem to be very bright indeed.

Deimann’s work has already attracted the attention of others in different industries and markets. Greenboats has built a range of products using the same system, varying from an autonomous deep-sea Hybrid-ROV capable of plunging to 6,000m, to municipal furniture and nacelles for offshore wind turbines. Yet the company is still committed to taking boat building onto yet another level.

“At present we have achieved a boat that is currently 80% built from renewable or recycled materials. In two years I think we will have a resin system that is 100% bio based.”

Flax-27-Greenboats-sustainable-yacht-aerial-running-shot-credit-Jozef-Kubica

Flax 27 is a pretty yacht in a traditional style that conceals groundbreaking green technology advances

It is an exciting prospect and, in a world where green progress often means key compromises, the Flax 27 almost seems too good to be true.

24' Eastward Ho

ARCHIVED: This is a previously listed vessel and is no longer offered for sale If you would like assistance locating a similar vessel, Click Here to locate a similar boat

Designed by Eldredge-McInnis and built by Portsmouth Yacht Co., the Eastward Ho is a compact yet roomy sloop designed for family cruising in comfort. She is a proven design which combines traditional elegance with practical accommodations. Nothing has been overlooked to satisfy both the sailor and the cruising enthusiast. Her generous headroom, two berths, full galley, and enclosed head are unique on a boat of this size. Her spacious cockpit affords seats long enough for an afternoon nap or additional overnight guests. Sailing or under power she is lively and responsive with a motion reminiscent of a much larger boat. Her ample beam and sufficient ballast make her very stiff without sacrificing valuable draft.

Attabuoy  is in need of general cleaning inside and out and some cosmetic work. The keel will need some minor fiberglass work. The sails are like new. The engine turns over, but has not been operated for a number of years. Take a look and you will fall in love!

Eastward HO 24

Eastward HO 24 is a 23 ′ 7 ″ / 7.2 m monohull sailboat designed by Walter McInnis and built by C. E. Ryder starting in 1975.

Drawing of Eastward HO 24

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Originally designed for wood contruction. The hulls of the later, FG version were built by CE Ryder (USA) and finished by Portsmouth Yacht Co. Diesel power was available as an option.
