Sonix' represents our introduction into this class. The hull is shaped in such a manner, the waterline extends very quickly to its maximum permissible length. Therefore, this design will achieve maximum sailing speed at the earliest opportunity. The deck is shaped so that the airflow is directed to the sails. Additionally, a mast well is incorporated within the mid-sections of the deck, to allow the rig to remain low and compact, aiding to maximum rig efficiency when sailing.


Between 2017 - 2019 development continued with more changes being made to the overall package. The results from these changes made 'Sonix' a more competitive yacht. This was demonstrated in the 2019 Italian Championships at Lake Garda, when 'Sonix' finished a respectable 9th place from 20 boats. Qualification to compete in the 2020 World Championships quickly followed, only for the opportunity to be thwarted by the global pandemic, which forced the cancelation of the regatta. 


Into 2022, 'Sonix' competed in the UK Championships achieving a creditable mid-fleet position. We are happy with the improvements done over the last couple of years and will continue to use Sonix, as our primary class design into the future.

 

The RMG winch and batteries are all encompassed within the radio pot. This ensures most of the weight is concentrated in one area. This system is used in most of our products.

 

The hull kit will come in the form of a part completed yacht, ready for the installation of the rig and radio equipment. The hulls are constructed using Carbon / Kevlar as an inner layer with carbon outside. Moulding is done using the vacuum bag technique. This type of construction method forms a light but robust hull. The hull, deck, rudder, fin box and other internal parts, including the bumper are all fitted to the hull. Deck fittings are installed, the standard length keel, ballast and rudder are also painted and included. A full length of sheeting line is fed through the pulleys and installed with plenty of cord for you to attach to the booms. Your winch and rudder servo can be installed if you supply them. A full or standard length fin can be ordered via 'Robot Yachts' to suit your sailing venue.


Hull Kit Price Only - £ 1500
