Hi Guillermo,
Do you remember the Renato "Sony" Levis design of a fast sailing boat.
She was typical Sonny Levis design almost a Delta shape, with a small mast an sail.
They said she get at 20 + mph under engine, and was going a pretty good clip under sail. I think she was 40' in lenth, with a 400 hp, but with all late Sonny Levis design you had this huge V overhang joining the deck in a cone shaped and reverse sheer like in his racing motor boat like Surfrider. Very dramatic
I think she was a good attempt on small scale.
My favorite motor sailer was and is Blue Leopard. Yes I can dream, it's free:)
And an other one from the board of Giles is the earlier design for the same owner Star Sapphire built in Italy by Beltrami.
Is Beltrami still in business? I had such an admiration for this yard.
Daniel
