Sayer 12mo Jon Sayer has a well established reputation in shorthanded sailing circles for designing yachts that are easy to handle and above all... Devastatingly FAST! When it came time to design a purpose built vessel to win the 2007 Melbourne to Osaka Yacht race, "RyuJin" was the result of that design vision. She went on to win "Open Class C" in that edition of the race. Featuring a carbon/Kevlar/Eglass build, carbon rig and a comprehensive aerodynamic/hydrodynamic package, "RyuJin" was the winner of the 2008 Brisbane to Gladstone on PHS after defeating her sistership "Wasabi" in a 300mile match race. She has also won the iconic Surf to City yacht race on line and handicap in 2007 and on OHS handicap in 2013. Wasabi has gone on to be the premier 40ft shorthanded race yacht in Australia having been campaigned extensively everywhere between Osaka and Hobart thus proving the quality of the design and build. Since then, RyuJin has seen more optimisation with a new sail plan from Quantum balanced against a new underwater foil package aimed at making her more usable without sacrificing performance. She has recently had all antifoul stripped and faired ready for re-foul as well as new rudder bearings and ballast scoop fitted. If you are looking for a race yacht that is capable of high speed racing and long ocean passages, shorthanded or fully crewed, then this is the yacht for you! Currently able to be viewed on the hardstand at Boatworks, RyuJin is a speed machine designed to thrill!   Contact Contact   Ensign Yachts Phone   1300 609 900 Website  https://ensignyachts.com.au Email   enquiries@ensignyachts.com.au Details Reference   ESC 402 Price   AU $159,000 Vessel Name   RyuJin Year   2006 Length   37' 0" - 11.29m Draft   2.6 Metres Displacement   4,400 Kg Keel / Ballast   Fin keel lead bulb   Designer   John Sayer Builder   John Sayer Hull Material   Carbon Fibre / Kevlar Decks Material   Carbon Fibre / Kevlar Engine   Single Yanmar 29 HP Diesel Engine Engine Make   Yanmar Horsepower   29 HP Fuel Type   Diesel Fuel Consumption   3 Litres per hour Max Speed   7 Knots Cruise Speed   6 Knots Fuel   120 Litres (2 x tanks) Water   120 Litres in 2x tanks Accommodation   HEADROOM: 6' + Cabins   Port and starboard squabs Berths   6 Toilet   Manual with straight pumpou Galley   LAYOUT: Small sink and cooker at front end of saloon STORAGE: Cupboards and alcove Refrigeration   Icebox on starboard side Stove   Metho Gimballed Ground Tackle   ANCHOR: 1x CQR + 1x Danforth CHAIN: Yes Safety Gear   HARNESS: Yes Bilge Pumps   Manual Life Raft   6 person out of service Epirb   406 Life Jackets   6x Flares   Yes Electrics   LIGHTING: 12v INVERTER: Yes BATTERIES: 1x House, 1x Start Electronics   GPS: Raymarine PLOTTER: Raymarine c70 SOUNDER: Raymarine AUTO PILOT: Raymarine WIND INSTRUMENTS: Raymarine RADIOS: VHF Sail Inventory   Upwind inventory from Quantum, Downwind North and Sailtech Mast / Rigging   RIG TYPE: Sloop RIG AGE: 2011 SPARS: Applied Composite Carbon mast, AYS Boom Deck Gear   Anderson Winches & Harken/Spinlock deck gear
