Boat Description

Experience the Thrill: The 49er High-Performance Skiff by Ovington

Embrace the exhilarating world of high-performance sailing with the Ovington 49er. Renowned for transforming dinghy racing, the 49er skiff is a testament to cutting-edge design and formidable sailing prowess. Created by the celebrated designer Julian Bethwaite, this one-design skiff is a preferred choice in competitive and Olympic sailing circuits due to its innovative features and optimal performance.

Design and Construction Excellence

The 49er's hull is a masterpiece of lightweight construction, offering minimal resistance which translates into exceptional speed without the typical 'speed hump' found in similar class boats. Its standout feature are the solid wings that not only simplify handling but also amplify the righting moment, providing stability and control even during intense maneuvers.

Innovative Rigging and Sails

A significant upgrade in 2008 introduced a full carbon mast and a modernized sail plan, aligning the 49er with the latest advancements in rig design. The precision-engineered CST mast complete with wires, halyards, and an efficient trapeze system, complements the North Main and Jib and the Pryde Spinnaker, enhancing the skiff's performance across varied wind conditions.

Ready to Sail Configurations

Whether opting for the ready-to-sail package that includes the fully fitted hull, CST mast, and premium sails, or customizing your setup with essential components like foils, spinnaker pole, and boom with vang arms, the 49er offers flexibility to meet every racer's needs. The availability of twin carbon Kevlar tiller extensions, rig bags with turnbuckles, and control line blocks ensures that each sailing experience is as efficient as it is thrilling.
