Sleek and Swiss
Tuesday June 24th 2008, Author: John Sharp, Location: United Kingdom
Before the start of this year's Bol D’Or Mirabaud, the sleek, fresh out of the box Enigma 34 Signature turned heads with admiring glances from spectators at the Geneva Yacht Club, before showing her class among a fleet of 600 boats.
The new boat is a new development for Tuzla-based Enigma Yachts, offering the latest in composite construction and race technology in a high-performance and stylish luxury day-sailer package and all for a competitive price.
Developed and built in-house, the new Signature package incorporates a full complement of luxury options into the successful Mark Mills Enigma 34 Race model. The new design aims to satisfy the requirements of a fast-growing group of day-sailors looking for that elusive combination of race-bred performance, easy handling and stylish and comfortable fit-out. Like all of Enigma Yachts’ craft, the Signature model will be distributed exclusively by Yabo-Sailing of Switzerland and its partners.
The first Enigma 34 Signature (hull number 001) has a metallic-black hull, a full teak cockpit, deck, seats and other teak applications, a Nordic clear-coated carbon rig, teak interior, stereo with i-Pod dock, clear coated carbon cockpit-box and tiller and other features such as a lifting keel, a full Nexus race instrument package and sun-bathing cushions to relax in style.
North Sails and Enigma have designed a brand new sail plan with North 3DL square head main, two 3DL jibs, two gennakers and a 3DL Code 0 supported by a longer boom and a newly-designed Nordic carbon rig.
“We are thrilled with the new Signature model,” says Michael Bornhäusser, CEO of Yabo-Sailing and Enigma Yachts shareholder. “The performance is incredible and we were leading the race for more than 12 hours. She’s a magnificent yacht, one of the first beautiful and really fast boats in this size range.”
The Enigma 34 One Design is a high-tech series of yachts produced with vacuum injection methods and offered in ‘Enigma 34 Race’ and ‘Enigma 34 Signature’ versions. These two packages offer a perfect high-performance yacht for discerning buyers all over the world, whether they are racing skippers or luxury day-sailors.
Currently, Enigma Yachts are sold in Australia, UK, Denmark, Middle East, Austria and Switzerland. Other markets including Germany, France and Spain will be coming soon.
