<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nA\u00a0sailboat\u00a0designed for\u00a0lake\u00a0regattas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The lakes of Central and Eastern Europe have no shortage of sailing and regatta enthusiasts, and\u00a0Lake\u00a0Balaton is one of the most popular waters for continental sailors. Based on the shores of this Hungarian\u00a0lake, the Flaar Performance Sailing\u00a0shipyard\u00a0designs sailboats for the sailing conditions specific to this area. At the beginning of 2024, it launched a new 7.23 m model, the Flaar 24, designed for fast sailing and transportable to cope with a shortage of berths in\u00a0Lake\u00a0Balaton harbors. The 750-kilogram displacement yacht features a 200-kilogram lead canting\u00a0keel\u00a0with an electric jack, for a draught increased from 60 cm to 1.80 m.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nCanvas and lightness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Flaar 24 is an all-carbon-fiber construction, from hull to deck to rig. Weight is kept to a minimum in the ballast, while the generous\u00a0sail\u00a0area is designed for efficiency in light airs, with a 20.7 m2\u00a0mainsail\u00a0and 17 m2\u00a0genoa\u00a0as\u00a0standard, and a 72.8 m2 asymmetric main\u00a0spinnaker. A wiser version, with a smaller\u00a0sail\u00a0area, is available as an option.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe vast cockpit accommodates a\u00a0crew\u00a0of 1 to 6. The central tiller controls the two vertically rising rudders.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nA small\u00a0mainsail\u00a0track is used to work the shape of the\u00a0sail, while cross-rails are used for the\u00a0genoa.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe height of the coachroof, perhaps a little high aesthetically, will be appreciated for its protection from the water, on this rather low-lying boat.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nBasic equipment for fast cruising<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If this isn’t your main program, you can enjoy a\u00a0quick\u00a0cruise on board. The central companionway gives access to a saloon with a forepeak that can be used as a berth, and two coffin berths under the cockpit. The companionway swivels ingeniously to hide the halyards coming down from the piano.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nA central table, pivoting on the sponge, can be used for a modest meal or for navigation. An integrated\u00a0refrigerator\u00a0is available as an option, while modest\u00a0storage\u00a0compartments can be used for a little\u00a0storage.<\/p>\n\n\n
