The day sailor Atomic is still one of the fastest inshore yachts on Sydney Harbour!Specifically built for twilight and inshore spinnaker racing in Sydney Harbour, Atomic has had numerous upgrades and a serious McConaghy Boats refit in 2012 to keep her not only in great condition but also optimise her performance.
The other major motivation of the previous owner was to sail short handed, so the operating systems for the crew where simplifieid or automated to reduce crew number to as little as three including the skipper!
The canting keel and twin dagger board set up ensure optimum performance at all angles of sail and wind strength.
This fun to sail and very rewarding canting keel race boat is ready to win, and priced incredibly well for the package on offer.
