Modern rigg

The rigg has been designed entirely without backstay and running backstays. This is made possible by the new mast, which has now two very long spreaders which are swept backwards up to 30 degrees. To achieve this, the shrouds were moved outwards onto the aluminium foot rail and also about 70 cm backwards. This way the mast is now completely free and stable. The foresail, which used to extend to 7/8 of the mast height, now utilises almost the entire mast height. Together with the enlarged mainsail, this makes it possible to dispense with a genoa.

Mainsail

Due to the lack of backstays, the head of the mainsail could be extended by a whole metre (fat head). This increased the mainsail area by five to 22 square metres. The boom is equipped with a single-line reefing system. This allows the mainsail to be reefed conveniently from the cockpit. The new Selden kicker has a gas pressure spring and maintains the boom always at the same height. This means that it is no longer necessary to use a boom-halyard, as the main halyard can remain permanently attached to the head of the sail.

Foresail

Upwind, the DIAMANT** sails with a self-tacking jib that changes the side automatically when tacking. During reaching courses, on the other hand, the optionally available, new and large top gennaker provides sufficient propulsion. An extendable gennaker pole integrated into the hull is available for this purpose. So here too: No spinnaker pole, no additional lines such as barber haulers, topnant or boom downhauls.

Cockpit

Aft, the deck shape has been changed in favour of a much more spacious cockpit. This is now completely open at the stern. This creates more space and better access to the stern - both for mooring and for bathing. Without backstay and running backstays, there are no more lines and hauls; only the mainsheet and the jib sheet remain in the cockpit. You will also look in vain for a traveller rail, as this is no longer necessary for the new rigg concept.
