2005 Simonis Voogd 56

The 2005 Simonis Voogd 56 is a carbon fibre racing yacht built for serious offshore performance and competitive regatta racing. Designed by the respected naval architects Simonis Voogd and constructed as a semi-custom sports cruiser-racer, the yacht combines a lightweight carbon hull, mast, and boom with an aggressive racing profile and deep fin keel. This construction delivers exceptional speed, stiffness, and handling for both offshore passages and inshore racing.

The yacht is powered by a Yanner 55HP diesel engine and carries an extensive professional sail inventory including Evolution, OneSails, and North Sails racing sails. The wardrobe covers a wide range of conditions with multiple asymmetric spinnakers, Code sails, storm sails, and racing jibs, all maintained in climate-controlled storage. The deep fin keel design provides notable upwind performance, while the overall package is well-suited to IRC competition, offshore cruising, or high-performance sail training.

The boat has a proven race history, having competed in major regional regattas including the Raja Muda and Kings Cup events. Originally launched in North America, it relocated to Asia in 2013. The yacht reflects the level of professional care and race preparation invested over its service life, combining competitive racing pedigree with genuine offshore capability.
