NEW YORK 55 - Fiberglass, steel, aluminum

The first plans to be drawn for this design were for the fiberglass version, currently being built for a French customer. We have already drawn up other versions of this sailboat in radius chine steel and aluminum.

We have refined this hull design using the latest versions of yacht design software. This is a very fast boat and one that will make extended passages with maximum speed and comfort. It is a large boat with a relatively low displacement length ratio of 220. This boat will be VERY fast and the cruising sail area of 1420 SQ FT ( s/a Displ ratio 14 ) may be increased if you prefer a larger rig.

L.O.D.	16.97 m	55' 8"
L.W.L.	20.50 m	50' 10"
BEAM	5.05 m	16' 7"
DISPLACEMENT	29,484 kg	65,000 lb
SAIL AREA	132 sq m	1,420 sq ft
AUX. POWER		80 TO 120 hp

	NEW CUSTOM FEATURE: SAFETY SKEG IS AVAILABLE ON THIS BOAT. The Roberts safety skeg is designed to take the best features from the LONG FIN / SKEG combination and add a SAFETY FACTOR. Many of you may be aware that skegs in general are vulnerable to damage so here is our answer to this problem. EMAIL Bruce to more details of this development.
	SEE STUDY PLANS ON CD FOR MANY STEEL AND FIBERGLASS CONSTRUCTION PHOTOS. On the left we see the C-Flex Fiberglass being installed on a hull mold as described above. Similar methods are used to install core material such as Corecell or Airex foam. On the left we see hull rolled over to the upright position and then the mold is lifted out of the hull shell. The mold is sometimes removed in one piece as shown here or in parts depending on the shape of the hull and the method used to laminate the hull.
