Boat DetailsContact the seller
The Corby 25 may be John Corby's smallest IRC design, but it's success has been phenomenal. The responsive, easily driven hull with its narrow, slick waterline reduces the wetted surface to give the ultimate light airs performance and yet the deep fin keel plus heavy bulb(approx.1200KG) provides all the stability required in heavy airs when beating or running, combine this with the efficient High aspect rig, modest working sail area and large masthead spinnaker = Fantastic all-round performance with the boat-speed and upwind angles many larger Cruiser / Racers can only envy. The ballast to weight ratio provides devastating upwind performance even when sailing shorthanded with reduced crew / weight on the rail. A perfectly balanced hull form & rig configuration which rewards the helmsman every-time. With some intelligent sail trimming & precision steering this little boat becomes a 'Giant Slayer' ! Our previous Corby 25 'WIL2WIN' built with Glass Reinforced Plastic & Polyester resin had a reputable racing record, winning in some very hot fleets on both sides of the Irish Sea, the following results speak for themselves.. most notable : Our debut 2005 regatta- Royal Dee in Holyhead class 2 overall winner Winning PSC & SCYC regattas in past years- Pwllheli challenge overall, LYC Winter series, King Constantine Cup, Abererch Bowl, Tudwal Islands races, Eurwyn trophy, Pursuit races, Gwyndaf Cup. Celtic weeks, Keelboat weeks including being honoured with overall top performing yacht in 2007 and have now won overall AGAIN this year in a fleet of 56 boats, (we are just 5x enthusiastic sailors in a SUPER FAST yacht). Dublin Bay's DL regatta 2007 including 3x race wins and 2nd overall in a strong class 4. (Ireland's Premier Sailing poll voted Wil2win as overall favourite to win DL out of 400 boats !)- http://spinnakerweb.net/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=105 Leading Irish national championships in Howth 2008, ending up 3rd Echo & 5th overall in highly competative 33 boat class 3. How about Dry sailing her here in Pwllheli- costs less than £1000 for a 6 month sailing season. The C.25 Project- To achive the ultimate performance, a stiffer, lighter Hull & Deck will be laminated with FRP in Epoxy resin. The complete rudder, stock & tiller will be built entirely in Carbon fibre. In order to reduce pitching moment, weight will be kept to minimum in both the fore & aft hull sections. The deck & ringframes will be constructed with sandwiched closed cell foam. See recent build images in Gallery. She will be post cured @ 50 degrees C for a minimum of 14 hours to increase stiffness by 20%. The decks & topsides will then be spray painted with AWLGrip- colour to be decided.. The lightweight Lombardini 13Hp twin cylinder diesel will be installed on a saildrive with folding race propeller. A few key advantages with the Lombardini Marine 502M power units are: Total package weight, including saildrive - only 108kgs. The hydrodynamic design of the saildrive leg makes it the most slender production saildrive on the market. Exhaust emission well below EEC requirements. The Estimated cost will be around £49,000 (ex Vat, Sails, Instruments)
