Finally, an entirely new concept in sailboat racing brought to you

by SpeedDream founders Vlad Murnikov and Brian Hancock.

Just as SpeedDream100, the quest to build the world’s fastest monohull, is packed with innovation and creativity, the new SpeedDream27 is a small package full of big ideas.

The design, a scaled down prototype of the record setter will be, quite simply, the fastest sailboat of its size anywhere on the planet. From its narrow, wave piercing hull to the lifting foils and extreme canting keel, SpeedDream27 relies on efficiency rather than raw power to achieve speeds that will reach, and often exceed, 30 knots.

We now invite you to share the extreme sailing experience that SpeedDream27 offers. While the boat was originally conceived as a one-off prototype strictly to test a radical idea, it would be selfish to keep all the fun to ourselves. So rather than screech around the local waterfront alone, we are turning SpeedDream27 into a one-design class for a whole new generation of thrill seekers.

A revolutionary boat requires a revolutionary race course and the SpeedDream27 Speedway will change the way you look at sailing. The idea is based loosely on slalom ski racing. Instead of racing a traditional triangle with a hired gun at the helm, SpeedDream27 pilots will enter the start zone two at a time. Their task, based entirely on speed and skill and not the vagaries of wind and shifts, will be to get their boat around the course as fast as possible. Short, intense, speed-timed races, and many of them over the course of a day, will turn up a winner that knows how to maximize the full potential of SpeedDream27.

If you have been tempted to ditch sailing and reach for the keys of a new diesel guzzler to get you out on the water, take a SpeedDream27 for a test drive. You will need your Atlantis Weathergear pilot suit, a good pair of goggles and healthy dose of adrenaline but once you are exposed to the concept that Speed Thrills you will never look at speed, or sailing, the same way again.
