Are you someone who craves speed? Simplicity? Do you love

sailing for the pure pleasure of experiencing the thrill and

excitement of competition? How about innovation? Do you have

big dreams and ambitious goals? We thought so and with

that in mind we invite you to become a part of our dream;

SpeedDream.

SpeedDream started as a simple idea, a quest to

build the world’s fastest sailboat, but along the

way something magical happened. As a first step in

what’s rightfully considered an enormously ambi-

tious project, we built a scaled prototype, a 27-

foot version of the boat principally to test some

of the innovations like the flying keel,

stepped hull and wave piercing

bow. SpeedDream27 is now a real-

ity and the boat is really cool, quite

stunning, simply amazing. Those

are not our words; they are some

of the comments on our Facebook

page. Without trying, our crazy lit-

tle rocketship has gathered quite a

YOU’RE INVITED

following and has inspired many people from

around the world.

It’s our stated goal to make fast sailing more

affordable, more accessible and more fun

and with that in mind we invite you become

part of the dream. Help us build SpeedDream

into a global movement that changes the

way we race boats. Sailing journalist James

Boyd, who runs thedailysail website, had it

right when he said “aside from the AC72s,

prize for the coolest boat to be launched in

2012 must go to SpeedDream.” We like that.

We want you to become an integral part of

the success of the entire SpeedDream pro-

gram, to feel a part of something bigger than

just a new idea. Join us as we pioneer this

new Development Class and be there with

us as we attempt the ambitious ini-

tiative of building the fastest

and sexiest sailboats on

the planet.

Over the last decade there has been some very real pushback

against professionalism in the sport, not at the extremes like

the Volvo Ocean Race and Vendée Globe, but among weekend

warriors. Sailing in not cheap, but still you should not have to

have the deepest pockets to win. How many times have we

heard the lament that regatta’s were lost because the boats

that won were able to bring in a crew of hired guns? Some

of the fun has been taken out of racing and we plan to

put it right back in again.

SpeedDream is all about speed. It’s not about

calling wind shifts on the windward leg. It’s not

about hiring the best tacticians and helmsmen

to help you spend your money to go

fast while you watch the action from

the weather rail. SpeedDream is all

about you taking the helm and re-

fining your skills as a helmsman to

see how fast you can go.

Just as catamaran sailing is all

about keeping the windward hull

out of the water, helming a Speed-

SPEEDDREAM FOR EVERYONE

Dream27 is all about keeping the keel fly-

ing. Our test pilot Cam Lewis, no stranger

to helming fast multihulls, states it clearly.

“There is skill required to get the keel flying

and to keep it flying, but it’s a skill that can

be learned, and honed. The better you get at

it the faster you will be able to sail. Racing

a SpeedDream27 will simply be about going

fast and having a blast without the complica-

tions, and expense, of a large crew.”

We have creative plans to get you out sail-

ing both locally and on an international

scale. For the entrepreneur, someone who has

craved to make his passion for sailing his live-

lihood, we have a plan for you as well. Think

along the lines of shared ownership, turnkey

arrive-and-drive and a little business model

that builds a fleet and takes it global

in partnership with an already

established international

racing circuit.

A boat as different as SpeedDream deserves some different

thinking when it comes to round the buoys racing. We are

reinventing it and we think that you will like what we are pro-

posing. It’s a sharp idea...:)

Let me introduce you to the SpeedDream SpeedWay.

Loosely based on slalom ski racing where two skiers

race through gates on parallel courses, the SpeedDream

SpeedWay will be raced on two spear shaped courses.

Yes the reference to the spear is deliberate; racing

the SpeedWay will be one-on-one combat.

The SpeedDream SpeedWay is designed to

challenge the speed skills of each team.

It’s not about picking wind shifts on the

windward leg; it’s about maximizing the

time spent with the keel flying and the boat

flying along at top speeds.

The course provides short, fast, reaching

legs with a crossover point so that all

competitors sail the same waters. If there

are more than two boats the starts will be

staggered; the winner is the boat with the

lowest aggregate time over a number of

races. Simple, fast, fun, creative and best of

all, you are in control.
