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.

Design
The Viper830 ... is designed as a one design and is not available for amateur construction.
The designers have utilises the latest VPP software to help 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 adjusted from the forestay turnbuckle. The mast is designed with the mainsail roach to bend in the puffs and allow the mainsail to exhaust.
