The Indigo (design no. 144) won this year, during the 24-hours, the ‘Tim van Rootselaar prize’. This prize is awarded to the monohull with the most sailed miles in the race. After the victory of the TEN (design no. 147) in 2010, it was the second year in succession for our design. The Indigo 26 (with 26ft, one of the smallest members) sailed in a fleet of 40 and 50 feet racers almost 198 miles.
Great results for the Indigo (design 144) and TEN (design 147) in the 50ft miles dualhanded. Both boats finished 1st in their class. The 26ft Indigo was abolute the second monohull overall after the 38ft ‘Hemels van der Hart”. The 33ft TEN was absolute the 4th monohull overall.
The Indigo (design 144) won the 50 Mijl Doublehanded on-line in the class <30ft.
The Indigo (design 144) made her first trials and the boat has a lot of potential. The first trip was a regatta in a light wind condition and the second trip a trial with 25kts true wind. In both conditions the performance was good and we sailed 14kts without gennaker. The next months we will optimize the boat.
