When the VIPER M was designed, we decided to offer something new in a 10 Rater. The plug was
made longer than needed aft so that by simply changing the bow we could extend both ends to
change the VIPER into a 10 Rater. The new yacht is simply beautiful. Long, narrow, light,
and VERY fast. We are utilizing all the same technology developed for the VIPER in its
production. The ballast and draft are increased to carry the huge rig, which is available in
either masthead or fractional versions. Although designed primarily for lighter conditions,
it is not as specialized as the COHO. Its far lighter Displacement/Length ratio and much
higher Power/Weight ratio enable it to rocket away from the COHO and those pesky M's in
marginal planing conditions. Put simply, it goes faster, sooner! This yacht is my personal
favorite. It is simply - FUN! LOA 59", LWL 51", Beam 8", Rocker 2", Ballast 8 lbs., Draft (19" fin) 23", Displacement 11 lbs., Sail Area 1470 sq.in. If you have any questions, please email me at: rcsail@ca.inter.net |
