T680 Yacht Design by Tboats

The T680 is a development of the successful T650, the major difference being that the T680 is an open boat with no cabin.

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 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.

Construction

The T680 is constructed using Eglass and epoxy resin with a foam core.

The boats are built using our build method, both the keel and rudder

are carbon fibre reinforced for added strength and stiffness.
