The hull of the Skellig 5 features a weighted centerboard. The pivoting and retractable appendages allow for flat grounding. The raised cockpit coaming perfectly protects the crew.
The boat is the number 1 of the shipyard. The centerboard trunk was modified by the shipyard following the original plan and visually approved by the architect, moved forward as in the initial design. The centerboard was extended, giving it even more stiffness and great ease in tacking. The mechanism for raising the centerboard and rudder, as well as the entire electrical panel, have been optimized and made more reliable.
