Introducing the Spirit R30

Designed for coastal cruising and competitive racing, the Spirit R30 sailing yacht has the style and beauty of the larger Spirits, with the fun-factor of a fast and easy to handle day sailor. The 9.15m Spirit R30 is fully electric and is the first Spirit hull to have flax lay-up and bio resin incorporated into her build. The Spirit R30 was constructed from responsibly sourced, FSC*-certified sapele ringframes and Douglas fir planking. The hull was then made water-tight using flax material, which was laid on the timber and sealed using PRO-SET bio resin. The fully electric Spirit R30 has a Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 FP electric drive system powered by lithium ion batteries and a Torqeedo 650W battery charger, giving a range of circa 16nm at 5 knots. Increased range can be gained with optional additional battery capacity if preferred. The batteries are recharged by shore power or via solar panels that mount over the cockpit cover. At 9.15m long with a light displacement of 1.7 tonnes, the Spirit R30 has options for a fixed or lifting keel and rudder. The yacht can also easily be transported on a road trailer adding to the versatility of this simple yet classically beautiful design. There is a second version of the Spirit R30 design, which incorporates basic living space for an overnight stay. Contact enquiries@spirityachts.com. Find out more: https://spirityachts.com/spirit-30/
