Two
boats in one; the Sport version satisfy the boy racer instincts
while the Club version is a purpose built trainer.
The T680 is a development of the successful T650, the major
difference being that the T680 is an open boat with no cabin.
The two versions of the T680, Sport and Club differ only
in the build methodology and rig size and configuration.
The Sport version will thrill while the Club version is
a low cost entry boat suitable for training and club boats.
Both versions are produced from the same female moulds,
the shape is the same, just the materials differ.
Both boats can be trailers behind an average car and either
ramp launched from a trailer or dry sailed using the central
lifting hook on the top of the keel.
The T680 Sport is an ideal race boat for lake or harbour
use and will thrill with the large asymmetric spinnakers
at speed. The boat has powerful sections for fast upwind
sailing in all conditions. The flexible carbon rig is configured
to lay off in the wind puffs to exhaust the larger roached
mainsail.

create a boat that is very fast and stable upwind yet exhilarating
downwind.
It features wide and comfortable side decks and a large
cockpit, all of the sailing controls are simple and easy
to use.
The rig features no permanent backstay with rig tension
