Raygun is a superb example of a great ‘race-ready’ Diam 24 from the esteemed VPLP naval architects. Raygun is an ideal boat to get into some excellent competitive class racing or to join local MOCRA events and is designed to be raced by a crew of three or four. It is light, sporty fun and fast, does well in light breeze but is also robust enough to hold its own well in more challenging weather and sea conditions. ‘Raygun’ was built in March 2017 and comes complete with original French build certificate and receipt, VAT paid.
This stunning example has been professionally maintained and prepared throughout her life and is now seeking new owners.
Features of this boat include:
A stiff and rigid platform : The non folding beams guarantee an uncompromised rigidity across the beam.
A highly effective coupling mechanism (cones and sockets) keeping it ultra
simple during assembly/disassembly
Autonomous handling – the overall size of the boat and it’s components permits 100% manual handling. No mechanical assistance is required.
A balance of forces. A perfectly balanced helm makes the boat lively and seaworthy.
2 rudders – on each floater allow you to sail with the central hull out of the water – with a single central daggerboard for performance and safety.
Simplicity. A clean deck plan, a minimised sail inventory.
The Diam24od inspires confidence to allow you to stick your neck out a bit – to maximize your enjoyment of the speed, slide and glide.
