Description

Tritail - one off, 35 feet, sail type Bermuda Rig, LWL 10. Architect Jørn Utzon designed this special boat in 1970, where the front half appears as a normal sailboat. From the middle of the boat and aft, the displacement splits in two, resulting in a catamaran shape at the stern. After development with large models (7) and testing in a hydrodynamic laboratory, the hull was made of seawater-resistant aluminum at Alboats in Helsingør. The idea behind this design, which should be seen in the context of the boat shapes available at that time, was to give the boat a more elongated shape, greater stability, and thus greater speed through the water. Unlike pure catamarans, which cannot be turned over again when capsized, this unique boat has some of the characteristics of a catamaran while still behaving like a "normal" keelboat. The boat, which the Utzon family has named "Tritail," has been in the family's possession for 50 years, with many wonderful sailing trips in Danish and Swedish waters. The boat is easy to sail. Jørn Utzon's son, Jan Utzon, who is selling the boat, has sailed the boat alone back and forth between Helsingør/South Funen and Strømstad in Sweden for many years. The boat has been maintained at a shipyard over the past 10 years. The boat has a mainsail, roller furling jib, spinnaker, and, if a new owner wishes to install the old forestay, a large genoa and a storm jib. Self-tailing winches. VHF radio, depth sounder, and a Garmin chartplotter can be included in the deal. Jørn Utzon's father's wish was for a larger boat for the family (after a Soling), and with his usual thoroughness and desire to explore new hull shapes, he designed this boat. His background was his upbringing with the keelboat specialist and father Aage Utzon. Below deck, the boat's layout is very simple, but it has worked well for the Utzon family. The wide stern provides a good workspace on the deck around the cockpit. The person who acquires this boat will get a well-sailing, solid, and unique vessel, which is the only one of its kind in the world.
