New 50 footer breaks off float

Ouch!

Well at least he's still got a very nice cat.

That's the nicest proa I've ever seen...

"I don't understand.... we feel really slow on port tack"

this is an irens designs? that should be better than idec and soedebo?

That boat was just written up in Seahorse, along with two other 50s.

unlike previous iren's designs(i think)

these 3 new 50's have no centerboards

instead relying on bigger ama daggers......

perhaps they beefed up the daggers and wells but not the aka to ama area

sure they'll be burning the midnight oil on this one

bmwo have gone the same way with dogzilla

light air, no probs......

Wont a trimaran without a centerboard be harder to tack?

hmmm...

maybe i got that wrong

looks like there is a centerboard but no ama boards

OMG. That was the best laugh I have had in months. Thanks. Waves....1 in a million.

It happened to my boat one time. The front fell off after hitting a wave.

I'm fairly sure Nacra designs it's boats to the highest maritime standards. :))
