Expoloder Sailing Team make professional, experienced racing sailors, specialized in multi-hull yacht sailing.

We carry out two independent sailing projects:
- participation in races on Exploder 20 catamarans;
- construction of Exploder 23 trimaran and organization of the race across Atlantic. 

Racing catamaran Exploder 20 Designed for sailing at moderate breeze and wave, what often occurs at coastal races such like „Round Texel”.

Racing trimaran Exploder 23 The main target of the yacht construction is to create a new class for trimarans, called Formula 23. This formula yachts will be able to start in inshore and coastal races with 3 crews on board. However the most important is to organize in 2008 the two handed transatlantic regatta from West France to Caribbean Islands.

Exploder 23 is experimental small racing trimaran. Many unexpected technical problems appeared during execution of the project, which resulted in  much longer realization time. Finally the boat will be launched on the Bay of Gdańsk waters on7-8th April and middle April will be dedicated to the test on the water. Provided that the test results are satisfactory, at the end of April we plan departure to Carnac in France, where the boat will be presented on Eurocat regatta, and than further tests on the open ocean.  Final  target of our preparations is to sail from Cadix to San Salvador and compare our result with the results of the biggest multihulls that will try to beat that record this season. If the boat passes that exam safely we plan to sail from Bermuda Islands to Plymouth in July. Both trials across the Atlantic will be taken in twohanded crew – Wojciech Kaliski and Adam Skomski.

There is a full set of moulds for serial production of Exploder 23. In principle we could already  offer it for sale, however taking into consideration the experimental character of the construction  we have decided to take the test first and confirm that all new concepts  and technical solutions are a success. Except of that during the production of a prototype we realized that some elements should be re-designed to lower the costs of the serial production. For instance we will be able to make out rigger hulls and cross beams in the autoclave very soon.

Taking all above into consideration the price of the yacht hasn’t been calculated yet. Before we started the project we estimated the price to be € 70-80 thousand. However it is sure now that the boat will be more expensive. We expect rather the price of € 80-90 thousand (ready to sail) and the final price we will confirm having finished the tests on the water – in May or June. Nevertheless we hope to offer you for this amount  the most exciting small racing yacht that enables easy transportation, preparation for  sailing and launching. The first photos, film and data regarding the tests will be available on our web page at the end of April.
