Yachts with similar parameters:
INTUITION is a "Spirit of Tradition" yacht that accomplishes the ideals of that concept: she genuinely combines the aesthetics and details of a pedigreed classic yacht with the strength, stiffness, and performance of a modern yacht. A tremendous amount of thought went into INTUITION by her owner/designer and by her builder, both of whom are responsible for outstanding innovations included in INTUITION.
INTUITION has proven exceptionally fast against other yachts of her size and larger, on occasion literally sailing circles around another longer Spirit of Tradition yacht. For PHRF racing, INTUITION has a racing rating of 78 and a cruising rating of 87. She has placed well in recent classic yacht regattas.
INTUITION is built in a manner that makes her massively strong, with two exceptionally strong bilge stringer structures and a solid laminated floor-timber system. Instead of being bolted to the bottom of the hull fairbody, the keel is attached by means of the keel fin being inserted into a case structure that runs up through the solid laminated floor structure and bolts horizontally athwartships, giving a tremendously strong attachment to the ballast fin keel.
On deck, INTUITION is laid out for efficiency and ease of use for a crew and for convenient single handing by one sailor, who can easily control the sails from the helm position. The helm is ergonomically designed to be able to comfortably take full advantage of steering by the telltales on the jib.
Below, the interior is cozy and compact with well-executed trim out of lacewood, a species that might be described as looking like a flame-grained mahogany.
INTUITION is a real sailor’s yacht, suitable and capable for single-handed daysailing as well as for serious offshore work. She accomplishes this in a classic and aesthetically lovely style. Her owner has maintained her in excellent condition, giving her yard --one of the best in New England-- freedom to address or upgrade any aspect of the yacht it deemed necessary. INUITION is offered with the highest recommendation.
