Open Multihull

Open Multihull

The Serina series of multi-hulls catamarans, drawn by Yves Loday, naval architect and Gold Medallist at the Olympic Games on a Tornado, is constructed and distributed by Sirena all over the world.

The high potential of this catamaran is fully deployed with the SL16, constructed on the same platform with new features and sails, for speed, international competition, mixed crews, and more.

Open Skiff

Open Skiff

The 29er was introduced to get people into the pure excitement of Australian skiff sailing. The boat is smaller, simpler and less expensive than its bigger brother, the Olympic Class 49er.

The 29er's wings are built-in, providing 5 ft 7 in. width without the complexity and expense of adjustable wings, only the crew is on the trapeze. Combine that with a self-tacking jib and boom led mainsheet and the 29er achieves a rig simplicity that allows the combined crew to concentrate on speed. UK Class Association
