HULL DESIGN


Racing tunnel boat technology inspired the design of the CY 20. The hull is molded with a full length tunnel that traps air to reduce friction and provide a much softer ride than the typical flat bottom skiffs.    

The angled sponsons outboard of the tunnel let the boat bank into turns and grab the water to prevent "sliding out" in turns.The boat actually turns "Like it is on Rails". 

Forward is a V shaped entry that deflects spray outward and aft.
