Turbo anything

Spring in North America approaches, and for many of us that means that we will be pulling the covers off our boats and getting them ready for the water once again.

One of the story series we are planning to do this year is turboed boats. People have been hotrodding cars for years, but more and more people are hotrodding or turboing their sailboats.

There have been lots of stories on turboed hobies, from 16s to 33s, so that is not what we want to see. What we want to see are the new and unique turbo jobs. I saw an old Santana 2023A with updates including bumping the SA by 50%, movable ballast, and a giant asym. Those are the types of boats we want to see. Do you have a boat like this, or do you know of one?

If so, drop us a line at editor@35knots.com. If we feature your boat, we will make sure to get you some 35 KNOTS gear.
