Besides the photos of U'I IPO available through the Skimmer Home button in the left navigation bar, we have some nice sailing photos here. As you can see, this is a truly beautiful sailboat for daysailing and coastal cruising.
Nice fair bend in the unstayed spars. The leeboards are asymmetrical foils. One can see how little hull draft there is. The rudder blade is adjustable. This boat will sail in one foot of water, which would make it an excellent choice for shallow sailing waters.
The shiny metal on the transom is a telescoping boarding ladder. Here you can see the leeboard supports which hold them about vertical in the water.
Just a sweet photo from the leeward side.
One can clearly see how the mainmast rigging works. The low-stretch halyard is attached to the yard and is taken to a winch at the aft end of the cabin top. Excellent luff tension is attained. She points well. A sailboat is supposed to be fun, right?
Just a nice photo. Lots of sail! Even though this is a light boat, it sails on its bottom.
The thruhull below the leeboard support is for the galley sink. There are adequate accomodations for cruising: double berth, sink, stove. You can see the almost complete absence of a quarter wave. You can get a little of the feeling of the boat's speed from these photos. They were taken from a conventional 16' powerboat with a 10 horse. It had trouble staying with us, hence the preponderance of photos from astern.
The spars are coated with Cetol, which gives them a rich, traditional color and is easy to care for. The combination of the unstayed Solent lug rig, mainmast tablernacle, bowsprit with anchor roller, and halyard winch allows the mainmast to be easily raised and lowered for trailering.
