First owner, well maintained epoxy built sport yacht with lifting keel. She mainly sailed on sweet water.
The TEN is a 10 meter sportboat, designed by Kees van de Stadt / Satellite Yacht Design. The lightweight hull has a sandwich construction of a glass epoxy laminate and a hightech foam core. By using a modern vacuum method in a mould, the entire construction process is controlled.
There is chosen to equip the TEN standard with a carbon mast to keep the weight and center of gravity as low as possible. The high stiffness of the mast, makes it easy to trim the rig.
The keel with a draft of 2 meter consists of a composite fin and a lead bulb. For transport, it's possible to lift the keel. The lightweight hull and mast, in combination with the deep bulbkeel, gives the TEN a high stability with a low weight. The maximium crew weight according the class rules is 450 kg and that's equal to 5-7 persons.
The choice of high quality Harken deckequipment as well as the choice for the right places and ratios makes the TEN the excellent boat to race, where boatspeeds of 15-20 knots are no exception.
Owners comments:
The DC33 TEN is similar to a Melges 32, almost same decklayout and speed but 1 ft longer and cheaper.
