The Sydney 34 'Belicymo', already nicknamed the red rocket, is a pocket sized turbo version of the impressive MBD 50 'Atomic'. With an overall length of 34' she is sure to set the pace on the waters of Pittwater this summer.</FONT></P> <P><FONT size=2>Canting keels virtually double the horsepower to weight ratio of a yacht. It is the designer's choice as to whether he takes the gain in horsepower, or in reduced overall weight, or a combination of both. Regardless of how the gains are integrated into a design, the result is the yacht is significantly more powerful for its weight than an equivalent yacht without the canting keel.<BR>This latest design incorporates the proven passive wing system from the MBD 50 'Atomic' that eliminates the complication of using centreline daggerboards or canard rudder systems, which can be tricky and awkward. The beauty of the wing system is that it solves the need for an additional leeway resisting surface device. It performs automatically as the keel is canted - simplifying the complexity of handling the yacht. The keel arrangement on "Belicymo" allows the yacht to cant a further 15 degrees than 'Atomic', to a total of 45 degrees. Another outstanding feature is the engine installation which is fully retractable, providing zero drag when sailing.</FONT> </P></TD> <TD vAlign=top> <P><IMG alt="" src="http://www.sydneyyachts.com/editimages/34BF Over head sailing 300Wx461H.jpg" border=0></P></TD></TR></TABLE> <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="95%" border=0> <TR> <TD style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: verdana,helvetica"> <P align=left><FONT size=2><BR>But the most important innovation certainly is the rig configuration. Fully adjustable shrouds fore and aft allow the boom to extend to 90 degrees on downwind runs, ensuring increased on water performance. This is significant because conventional swept back spreader rigs only allow the boom to extend as much as the shrouds allow. This is a definite advantage in the increasingly popular twilight and non spinnaker races.</FONT></P> <P><FONT size=2>Although this new design is a prototype and at this stage will not be put into production, it gives Sydney Yachts a full scale R&D trial horse to test the effectiveness of canting keel technology on smaller yachts. It is an exciting prospect that may be reflected in mainstream designs of the future.</FONT></P> <P><FONT size=2>For further information regarding this exceptional design please contact Sydney Yachts on +61 2 9979 8044.<BR></FONT></P> <P align=left> </P></TD></TR></TABLE><BR><BR> <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="95%" border=0> <TR> <TD style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: verdana,helvetica"> <P align=center><FONT color=#ff0000><STRONG>Sydney 34 powering to windward</STRONG></FONT></P></TD> <TD style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: verdana,helvetica"> <P align=center><STRONG><FONT color=#ff0000>Iain Murray - Sydney Yachts</FONT></STRONG></P></TD></TR></TABLE><BR> <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="95%" border=1> <TR> <TD> <P align=center><IMG alt="" src="http://www.sydneyyachts.com/editimages/34BF Stern view sailing 300Wx461H.jpg" border=0></P></TD> <TD> <P align=center><IMG alt="" src="http://www.sydneyyachts.com/editimages/34BF Iain Murray 300Wx461H.jpg" border=0></P></TD></TR></TABLE><BR><BR><BR><BR></P></TD></TR></TABLE> </body>
