Aeroyacht Competition: Tektron 50

NEPTUNES CAR - reduced to 179,000 $

This vessel is the only Shuttleworth Open 50 in the world. The boat's history is as impressive as the amount of aerospace technology incorporated into her design. She has been clocked at 27 knots towing water-skiers, yet has a fully equipped cruising interior. NEPTUNES CAR is the ultimate racer cruiser by all standards.

In the absence of our Outremer 43' FLO, NEPTUNES CAR is used for day sails on Long Island Sound and to keep our racing skills tuned by entering some long distance races. Kirk Siemsen, a good friend, sailing mate and owner of NEPTUNES CAR keeps his all carbon - Tektron 50' in Port Jefferson Harbor, Long Island, NY. This amazing thoroughbred has a beam of 35' and weighs less than 14,000lbs. In the 2003 edition of New York's classic Around Long Island Race, she was the first multihull on elapsed and corrected time.

Top speed: 26 knots....with a waterskier !

MULTIHULLS MAGAZINE published a fascinating comparison by John Shuttleworth with his new concept boat "Dogstar 50". This radical racer/cruiser is 90% the TEKTRON 50 and 10% saving weight. Look it up in the March/April 2002 issue.
