About

Wingnutis a masterfully executed example of a Kurt Hughes high-performance design, professionally built for the sailor who refuses to choose between offshore capability and blistering speed. The vessel's pedigree is defined by its extensive use ofcarbon fiber constructionto achieve a rigid, lightweight, and high-performance profile. Key structural components including therotating mast,boom, andbowsprit (retractable5) are all carbon fiber. TheAkas (cross beams)are engineered from carbon fiber over cedar strips, while thebulkheads,stringers, center board, and rudderare constructed of carbon fiber. The hull is S-glass, Corecell foam core, and epoxy resin. Meticulously finished by a professional toolmaker and CNC programmer, this boat's attention to detail far surpasses standard production builds.

    I highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon. He served as our buyers broker. He is responsive, highly knowledgeable and very experienced. He is also an excellent guide and counselor before, during and after the boat purchase process. If you are looking for a good-sailing cat, he seems to collect most of the available boats on the better-sailing side of the market. Top marks.
