The ICE YACHTS shipyard comes to the market with a brand new product , the ICE 60 RS, a racer version of the already very fast ICE 60 (Read our world premiere test HERE ), which winks at the to owners looking for an important boat suitable for both fast, super-comfortable cruising and even challenging regattas. Derived from the powerful lines of the standard ICE 60, with a mix of content taken from the 62′ and 82′, it succeeds in enhancing the yard’s hallmarks of ruggedness, seaworthiness and performance.
Modern design, with inverted foredeck (scimitar-like), delphiniera made of carbon 1.3 long mt and stern in the style of Volvo Open 70 , comes from the very recent racer ICE 33, launched by the shipyard in June 2014 and already built in 5 examples, a true starter in all the regattas in which it participates, as well as a natural development of the ICE 52, another bestseller of Ice Yachts with over 12 examples produced to date. On the hydrodynamic side, the water lines and appendages, this time featuring an unprecedented 3.40-meter draft, are designed for great performance.
THE CONSTRUCTION.
The shell and deck are laminated in infusion from female mold using carbon fibers ; the structures also made of carbon are laminated in place and also made in infusion, becoming one with the hull and deck. The deck in addition to classical gluing then benefits from clamping manuals developed throughout the boat including the bulkheads.
These choices, in addition to containing weight, give the boat a solidity and sturdiness capable of withstanding the repeated stresses and heavy loads faced even in the most demanding sailing. ICE 60 RS is equipped with a fin made of double Weldox steel with high mechanical properties and a numerically controlled milled lead torpedo, which offer the advantage of percentage reduction in ballast weight and thus the total displacement of the boat for the same righting moment.
The carbon rudder with 7-bar autoclave forged shaft designed and engineered with cutting-edge technology allows impressive control even when the boat is heeled or subjected to large aerodynamic loads, while always keeping a clear focus on safety, central to both design and construction. The deck reflects the general lines of Felci Yacht Designs, combining simplicity and style, elegance and efficiency, comfort and versatility.
Following this same philosophy, the sail plan is characterized by a genoa with no overlap, no flying shrouds, and a mainsail attachment, made of carbon, positioned directly on the hull.
Interiors are provided in 3- or 4-cabin versions, with 2 or 3 bathrooms. Carbon rigging, 1500 cm taller than the standard 60, high-modulus to go along with the performance of theICE 60RS to the maximum.
The first example of the ICE 60 RS is currently in construction phase at the ICE YACHTS shipyard in Salvirola, near Crema, Italy, and the first boat, for a demanding Italian-Austrian owner, will be in the water before next summer.
