NEW CRUISING DAZCAT 1295 XL TEST SAILING

Jumps of joy and coos of admiration and delight punctuated today’s brief second test sail on the new Dazcat 1295 XL. Even the bitter April rain as we set off couldn’t dampen our excitement as she went through her paces looking both fast and beautiful. The extra width gives her that ultra striking look and her performance is certainly faultless so far... The owner was out for his first sail today and it was a delight to see the massive grin on his face throughout. While designer Darren Newton was standing off in the rib busy checking out her balance and performance, Simon Biffa Baker and Matt Baker were onboard ensuring that everything is set up correctly and working smoothly. Also onboard were our electrician and Matt Owen from PR Systems Marine Electronics, calibrating the compass and log, finalising systems set ups. Once again thanks to all our suppliers including, to name just a few, Matrix Composite Material Company, Marineware Ltd., Harken, Aquafax, Allspars, Diab also our North Sails 3Di Nordac main and jib looking superb. There'll be more test sails to come as well as onboard and interior footage...
