Underway
With
limited heel, a spacious and comfortable cockpit and hydraulic
winches, Sojana is a pleasure to sail with either a full
racing crew or core cruising crew onboard.
Being
a water/fuel ballasted yacht, she can reach speeds of 25
knots in the right conditions, with her two tall carbon
fibre Hall Spars masts maximising her powerful and varied
sail inventory.
The
ketch rig and comprehensive deck layout gave sailmakers
North Sails a considerable challenge.
They
worked closely with Sojana’s design team to create
a sail inventory that optimises all points of sail.
After
careful consideration of the relative wind speeds and angles
that the yacht would experience, in addition to their interaction
with the rig and hull, a basic cruising inventory of nine
sails was established.
The large
sail inventory incorporates 653.00m² of sail area upwind,
constructed from North’s unique Spectra/Carbon laminated
fabric and a massive 1486.00m² of sail area downwind,
made from woven Nylon in various weights.
When
cruising, the boat has two furling gennakers flown from
the main and mizzen masts, which were designed for straightforward
ease of handling.
The largest sail onboard is the powerful, stable and fast
code 2 asymmetric. At 697.00m² its’ design utilises
the very latest asymmetric technology.
Underway,
Sojana is an extremely comfortable yacht to sail, whether
experiencing the exhilaration on deck or relaxing down below.
Her large sail area and ergonomically designed cockpit were
engineered for maximum performance to enable exceptionally
stable, but extremely fast cruising.
