Peltzer Yacht Design

Somewhere high up in an Austrian mountain shed one of our clients is building the M22 XiO offered as a kit by Project Made In Holland. This boat is designed to as much suitable for Austrian lakes as to be trailered to the Mediterranean for coastal sailing. AI made it possible to show what the boat will look like when it is finished.

A replacement keel fin was designed an cast for a MaxFun 35, the original welded fin was corroded and did not pass safety inspection and was written off. To prevent this problem in the future it was decided to replace the fin with a solid cast iron one, this was also the most economically solution. This new fin is slightly heavier but as the boat was a bit low on stability this was more of a bonus than a disadvantage. The keel was produced and supplied by Tripple A Yachting who have the mould in store might any other MaxFun 35 owner also need their keelfin replaced.

A new keel is under construction at B.V. Machinefabriek Krimpen custom designed for Zeebeer 3. Assembled of 3D cnc machined steel for the structural part, and will be be finished in composite. The weight saved will lower ORC rating and improve performance downwind and in light air.

A new 38 is on the drawing board. This is a development of Hubo optimized for offshore racing with a small crew. The boat will like Hubo be both IRC and ORC friendly. It also will be build in wood/composite construction.

A modified keel foil and an new rudder blade was designed on the Dehler 41 DB "Barracuda" for improving upwind performance under ORC. The modification work was done by Sailworkz as well as a complete smoothing and fairing job below the waterline.
