At Annapolis Performance Yachts, we offer both the new Annapolis 30, as well as the 2007 Sailing World Over All Boat of the Year award-winning Esse 850 (now available). To find out more about either, or our select brokerage offerings please contact us
The Annapolis 30 will be in full production on October 1st!
Contact us today to reserve your hull.
The Annapolis 30 is the ultimate performance-based, multi-purpose boat. The A30 has extremely aggressive lines, a retractable keel and rudder, carbon rig, and large asymmetrical spinnaker. Combined with a full, spacious interior often found in much larger boats, the A30 is a one-of-a-kind boat. Annapolis sailors conceived the A30 for great upwind performance and exhilarating downwind rides. Designed by Robb Ladd, the team paid special attention to construction, durability, and overall quality of both performance and build.
Esse 850 from Schuchter Switzerland - S850 After many years experience in dealing with sailing boats, particularly sports/racers of 8 to 10 metres overall length, We have felt for years that there is a need in the market for a boat that above all is easy to handle. That means not only a boat that is easy to trailer but above all is simple to handle in its element - on the water; where simple handling means not only the ability to be sailed single-handed, but also the advantage of regatta sailing without the need to recruit a large crew, and nevertheless still be faster than most boats of similar size.
Introducing the Esse 990. The Esse 990 looks to be another spectacular design from Schucter Yachts. Inspired by the worldwide success of the Esse 850, the Esse 990 takes a proven design and utilizes the very pinnacle of yacht construction technology. With a designed crew of 4-5 people, the Esse 990 will not only be one of the fastest yachts on the course but also be the easiest to own and campaign. Scheduled to be launched in September 2007, Annapolis Performance Yachts is very excited about this new high performance yacht from Esse. Details to follow...
The J-125 is one of the fastest
J boat models ever built. For as fast as she is there still is a full enclosed marine head with holding tank and sink, a water system and a second sink in the galley with a 2 burner stove. She rates -3 PHRF on the Chesapeake and has an excellent race record. Further information on sail inventory is coming.
There is an extraordinary stability index of 143 degrees with a stability curve ratio of positive to negative areas of 12.5:1. This is mainly attributed to the high tech composite SCRIMP construction. Hull & Deck Laminate Design of the J/125 is stronger for its weight than E-Glass/epoxy laminates using CoreCell foam. J/125 uses epoxy with a combination Kevlar & E-Glass for the outer skin with two layers of carbon fiber (bi-axial & unidirectional) for the inner skin. The higher strength of these exotic materials allows a thinner, lighter skin than the equivalent E-Glass structure.
The keel design of the J/125 is unique to this size boat in three ways (1) The strut is cast of an NAB (nickel/aluminum/bronze) alloy rather than from steel/iron which can rust causing maintenance headaches, (2) The integral flange of the strut has a six square foot interface with the hull in two parallel rows of ten 7/8" stainless bolts. And, (3) Built into the leading edge of the keel as an option is a San Diego style kelp cutter.
Controlling weight was important during buiild. There are two reasons why this goal is easier on the J/125. Less total weight of resin involved, the usual culprit, and the SCRIMP process which insures minimal variation from boat to boat. TPI Composites is currently building the J/125 within +/- 1% total boat weight tolerance. No part has a variation greater than a +/-2% tolerance.
Keel Strut & Ballast equalizing and certifying the nickel/bronze keel strut shapes and weights to within +/- 5 kilos prior to pouring/attaching lead bulbs, then equalizing overall keel weight to within +/- 10 kilos and providing the Class Association with aluminum templates to tightly control keel shape tolerances.
