Dear Sir or Madam,
dear Saare friends,
the new Saare 47 was craned in the shipyard on Friday 14.6.24 and the mast was put up immediately afterwards. All of this during a beautiful summer weather, with lots of good humor and great joy.
So far everything fits perfectly and all the electrical devices and units work. That is not a given, which makes us all the more delighted with this wonderful yacht.
Our employees in Estonia have done a great job!
We are now sailing this yacht to Eckernförde and will arrive there in a few days. The Saare 47 will then be available in Eckernförde for a good week for viewings and test sailing dates before we go on a long test trip to the Baltic Sea.
We are now posting more and more new photos on our website www.saare-yachts.com. We show the Saare 47 from the outside, from the inside and also at sea under sail.
When the crane was used, we weighed the yacht and the entire rig. The mast with boom, halyards and all stays weighs 494 kg. We had expected 500 kg, so everything is perfect.
The Saare 47 (empty weight) weighs exactly 13,000 kg together with the rig. That is significantly less than expected; our intensive efforts not to make the boat too heavy have paid off. The vacuum infusion process, the sandwich construction, the particularly elaborately constructed doors and fronts with honeycomb core and many details have contributed to this great result.
The lead keel weighs 5,050 kg, resulting in a ballast share of almost 39%. And in addition, the righting moment is particularly high because the keel hangs low down on the laminated S-frame bilge.
