How about this for the last word in 'Explorer yachting'? If the world's your oyster, could you go too far wrong in this €7.9m stress–free cruiser? With a range of 3,000 nm at 12 knots it is literally possible to cruise the planet.

Following the signing of the contract of the new 24XP, Numarine – the Turkish high performance motoryacht shipyard based in Istanbul, with a range from 55' - 130' – has announced hull #1 of the all-new 32XP model has been sold to a Northern European client.

Lips are sealed but could he/she be a repeat Irish client?

The Numarine 32XP Series – together with 24XP and 40XP – will be a new line of Explorer series models.

Designed by Can Yalman the 32 metre yacht has accommodation for 12 guests – including a full width owners cabin.

A Dublin based Ker 36 'Keragous', a development of the successful Ker 39 "Flying Glove" is for sale through Leinster Boats Ltd yacht brokers.

With the same style of deck and interior as the Ker 39, this yacht was built with the aim of qualifying for the 2006 Commodore's Cup.

The yacht was built by Ritchie Faulkner Composites of the Hamble. According to broker Ronan Beirne of Leinster Boats, the design brief was for a 'true dual purpose yacht' with a modern comfortable interior that would lend itself to both racing and cruising while having performance and competitiveness under IRC to win on the race course.

Sleeps 6 in comfort for passage making and cruising and with additional berths for offshore racing.

The Half Ton Class was created by the Offshore Racing Council for boats within the racing band not exceeding 22'-0". The ORC decided that the rule should "....permit the development of seaworthy offshore racing yachts...The Council will endeavour to protect the majority of the existing IOR fleet from rapid obsolescence caused by ....developments which produce increased performance without corresponding changes in ratings..."

When first introduced the IOR rule was perfectly adequate for rating boats in existence at that time. However yacht designers naturally examined the rule to seize upon any advantage they could find, the most noticeable of which has been a reduction in displacement and a return to fractional rigs.

After 1993, when the IOR Mk.III rule reached it termination due to lack of people building new boats, the rule was replaced by the CHS (Channel) Handicap system which in turn developed into the IRC system now used.

The IRC handicap system operates by a secret formula which tries to develop boats which are 'Cruising type' of relatively heavy boats with good internal accommodation. It tends to penalise boats with excessive stability or excessive sail area.

Competitions

The most significant events for the Half Ton Class has been the annual Half Ton Cup which was sailed under the IOR rules until 1993. More recently this has been replaced with the Half Ton Classics Cup. The venue of the event moved from continent to continent with over-representation on French or British ports. In later years the event is held biennially. Initially, it was proposed to hold events in Ireland, Britain and France by rotation. However, it was the Belgians who took the ball and ran with it. The Class is now managed from Belgium.
