The Oceantec 50 is a new fast family offshore sailing yacht by Humphreys Yacht Design and Oceantec yard.
Following a series of successful offshore racing yacht collaborations, Tom Humphreys from Humphreys Yacht Design and Oceantec have teamed up again to provide the experienced sailor with a long range, ocean going family cruising yacht with true planning potential. Capable of fast and effortless 250nm to 300+nm per day passages, the Oceantec 50 is designed for fast, efficient, comfortable and safe cruising for a family or a couple.
Oceantec 50 is a modern, high performance cruising yacht that rarely has to deal with bad weather by maintaining high average speeds. A yacht that enables you to pick your weather windows for smooth sailing and outrun the bad weather if necessary.
The Oceantec 50 incorporates a powerful, highly refined hull form with excellent seakeeping qualities, a comfortable and practical living space, rugged high-tech composite structure, and simple, reliable systems designed to withstand the worst the sea can throw at it. The result is a design offering exceptional performance, safety, live aboard comfort and unbounded long range, fast cruising potential.
A carbon mainsheet arch and windshield are also available as options in order to provide an unobstructed and better protected cockpit. A cleverly stowed fabric sprayhood and bimini link between the mainsheet arch and windshield to provide full protection from the elements outside.
The design can be tailored to various rating rules such as IRC and ORC, depending on how the design is configured. The standard 3m draft keel is of cast SG iron with composite fairings and lead bulb. Shallow draft and lifting keel options are also available. Rig options can be tailored to the type of sailing the owner wishes to do – including a runner-less version with square-top mainsail.
