Cagarro

 I received and email from the owner of Cagarro a 5 meter Setka which is an interesting yacht a 5 meter version of the Globe 580 racing boats.

 

 When I say these are my kind of boats, I appreciate the absence of sweeping sheer and long overhanging stern and stem but in terms of practicality and following the old Bauhaus  design philosophy that "form should follow function" these boats absolutely hit the spot fast, fun and very seaworthy.

One of the Global 580 owners and competitors described the experience of building of the yacht as tough, but giving him huge confidence in the boat, how it works and his ability to fix potential failures which is exactly the position you need to be in.

You can read more about Cagarro here which sails from Horta in the Azores  which is described as "5 meters of excitement"
