Infinity?s brief was to build the highest quality safe, comfortable and fast world cruising yacht possible. There was no budget, hence only the highest quality materials and equipment were chosen.







SAFETY: All sailing operations are carried out without leaving the safety of the cockpit, reefing is simple just push a button. Safety is an interior designed for use in a seaway. Safety is a solid hand-lay up GRP hull. Safety is a keel with encapsulated ballast and a skeg mounted rudder. Safety is a powerful 12kw radar that sees the small wooden fishing boats at night.







COMFORT: Weight equals comfort in a seaway no quick motions no pounding. Lightweight carbon fiber sandwich construction was never considered. Comfort is an interior laid out for use in a seaway. Comfort is sleeping on a queen sized innerspring mattress. Comfort is being surrounded by a beautiful solid teak interior enjoying properly engineered seating covered in luxurious fabrics.







FAST: Start with a hull with sweet, easily driven lines that are most pleasing to the eye. Add a deep keel and a tall bendy mast with triple spreaders, rod rigging and fully battened North Spectra sails. Infinity?s cutter rig has a high sail area to displacement ratio. Control all this with electric winches and a Navtec hydraulic back stay and boom vang system. All this adds up to a fast cruiser, 200+ mile days are common.
