Why Gunboat Sails When Others Motor | Performance & Innovation (Engineering Series)

Performance doesn't begin at sea. It begins in the design office. This film brings together the entire Gunboat Performance & Innovation interview series with Stéphane Renard, head of Gunboat's design office, offering a continuous immersion into the choices that make the difference for a Gunboat on the water: efficiency in light winds, controlled speed, and stability on a large scale. Throughout these episodes, we explore how performance is designed as a system: carbon structure and platform rigidity, sail plan designed to maximize sailing time, and daggerboards that help create apparent wind, improve wind angle, and reduce drag. The intention is simple and uncompromising: sail more, use the engine less, and turn breeze into real miles, sooner, cleaner, and with confidence. If you're passionate about performance sailing, multihull design, composite engineering, hydrodynamics, and aerodynamics, here's the story told by those who build it. From the Gunboat 68 to the Gunboat 80 Fusion, one philosophy remains: fast, controlled sailing in silence.
