Formula Sailcraft manufacture high quality, light weight moulded fibreglass/foam sandwich 125s for top level racing.

Now in production for the 2008/09 season is the new Mk2 hull shape. 'Mk2' (sailed by Jim Scott and Will Morris, pictured left and below) is the current National Champion having won the recent Hervey Bay 125 Nationals.

Pictured Left and below is 'Kraken Up' a new Mk2 sailed by Richard and Gus Ekberg. 'Kraken Up' led most of race 6 at the Hervey Bay Nationals before being passed on the last beat, finishing a close second to 'Mk 2'

The latest Mk2 to hit the water, Julian Jorgenson's Venomous was launched at the Sauna Sail Regatta, June 6th 2009.

Julian and crew Michael Johnson are from Black Rock YC in Victoria and will be part of the Victorian contingent of juniors going to the SA Nationals this Christmas.

Brodie Coutts sailing his 125 Mk2 Boarlistic 3166 with crew Jake Nichols were the first placed 125 and also division winner on yardstick at Sauna Sail 2009. Their division included Laser 4.7s, Sabres and Pacers. Brodie and Jake are also going to the SA Nationals.

Other 125s at Sauna Sail were Gus Ekberg/Tom Edmunds on Kraken Up 3172, Will Morris/Caitlin Robinson on Inertia 3136 and James Robinson/Matt Morris on Mk2 3168.

The new moulded 125s are built using Vinylester Resin and finished in tough FGI Aquaguard gelcoat. Hull and deck shells are manufactured in our modern boatbuilding facility using advanced vacuum bagging technology. Construction is supervised by Jim Scott, current active 125 sailor and three times 125 National Champion.

The 125 has a very low minimum weight of 50kg which requires care and experience to achieve. Formula Sailcraft moulded 125s are carefully constructed to be light, stiff and fast whilst also incorporating adequate strength in the important areas to achieve a long lasting, low maintenance boat.

Moulded carbon/balsa centreboards

We now make carbon fibre 125 centreboards with a balsa core, laminated in tough vinylester resin and finished in hard wearing polyester gelcoat. These carbon/balsa boards are moulded to the same NACA shape as the hand shaped board in Mk2. The moulded boards weigh in at 2.7kg and are stiff and strong. Kraken Up 3172 sailed with the first moulded centreboard in the Hervey Bay nationals proving the board's strength in some very strong winds.

Price for 2.7kg moulded carbon/balsa centreboard is $770 incl GST

Price for 3.4kg moulded fibreglass/balsa centreboard $550 incl GST

Rudder boxes and rudder blades

We make two arrangements for rudders, both have the same deep eliptical blades shaped to NACA section available in either cedar/glass or cedar/carbon.

The deep eliptical NACA rudder has low drag, low stall characteristics maintaining good grip in the water on fast shy reaches.

We can supply a rudder blade fitted to an assembled Vic Assoc. alloy rudder box as used on Kraken Up 3172 (the blade is taller at the top to fit the box) or...

We can supply the set up used on Mk2 which is using a moulded carbon rudder box with alloy tiller. This is the lighter option weighing about 500g less but costing more.

Both rudder boxes are proven designs, have integral gudgeons and are supplied fully fitted including 5/16" gudgeon pin, rudder pivot bolt with wing nuts and lock down pin (tiller extension not included)

Price for Rudder blade in cedar/glass $440.00 incl GST

Price for rudder blade in cedar/carbon $495.00 incl GST

Price for assembled Vic 125 Assoc alloy rudder box $265.00 incl GST

Price for moulded carbon rudder box with alloy tiller $595.00 incl GST
