- OVERVIEW -
The design challenge for
the “POWERSAIL 15m”
was to provide a more economical alternative for prospective buyers who
were excited by the unique concept of the Powersail 20m but found the price
beyond their budget.
By innovative design we
have been able to retain in the "POWERSAIL
15m" the majority of
the desirable features of the Powersail 20m, including the18 knot motoring
speed, while achieving a 45% price reduction.
The "POWERSAIL
15m" fulfils the
requirements of a luxury world cruiser, with its exceptionally large volume,
fully air conditioned interior, incorporating a raised saloon seating eight,
and internal helm station. Two full beam staterooms offer king and queen
size walk round berths and en suites with separate showers. A third cabin,
with a queen size bed settee doubles as a TV, reading lounge or office.
The galley features a large
granite benchtop, twin refrigerators, front opening freezer, range hood,
dishwasher, and wastemaster. A separate laundry accomodates a washtub,
full size washing machine, tumble dryer and a 150l/hr watermaker.
Twin helm stations provide
excellent visibility and the spacious cockpit features large table seating
six for outdoor entertaining while the hard spray dodger ensures
good shelter from the elements when sailing. On board systems enable the
boat's large powerful rig to be easily sailed single handed, even to the
extend of being able to deploy and retrieve the gennaker without leaving
the safety of the cockpit.
The "POWERSAIL
15m" only requires a
480hp engine, using the same patented systems as the Powersail 20m, to
achieve its outstanding motoring performance.
The "POWERSAIL
15m" features a large
retractable propellor and bow thruster,twin rudders, a minimum 1.5m draft
lifting keel, automated water ballast system, telescopic bow sprit and
a full headroom stern garage. The bilges are filled with closed cell foam
to provide a fundamentally unsinkable vessel. |
