MALBEC 240

Without a doubt an pleasant surprise, for that they wish a good sailboat designed in all dimensions, presented/displayed in Spain by the Povlsen company.

Day is a perfect sailboat for `cruising' that also allows to realize cruises of several days given to the high quality of its helmet and the good design of its cover and interiors.

But where we must affect is in its magnificent benefits of navigation, fruit of his studied careening. Its streamlined aspect and of regateras lines surprises to us pleasingly. 

7.5 meters of length and 2.72 of sleeve, offer a very acceptable habitability for their LOA. Its maximum openwork is of 1.35 meters and moves 1,400 kilos.

For the helmet gelcoat has been used isoftálico target USA origin of excellent quality, with a solid laminate, applied of form manual. The bulb keel is very solid being realized in smelting of a piece which confers a great hardness against possible impacts or rubbing to him with the bottom.

In roof and both bands we observed two inserted fixed windows with acrylics of 10 mm tinted. The pulpit with candlesticks and ironworks is all realized in Inox steel quality 316, as well as the other elements of the fixed rigging of excellent quality. The maneuver is of the prestigious Harken manufacturer, and the tiller is realized in inox, being lasting and allowing `to perfectly feel' the sensations that appear in the rudder. Its length is important since the rudder is not of compensated type, and allows to even govern the boat without efforts with the stronger conditions of wind.

The bathtub is comfortable and ample. The mirror of Integra stern in its part of starboard a large stone bench that supports fueraborda with which to realize maneuvers in port or to reach acceptable cruise speeds in case of having left we without wind. The power adapted for fueraborda is from 3 to 10 CB, and can be retired or be installed with much comfort.

 In the interior we felt one pleasing amplitude, since all their space is diaphanous, being separated the zone of prow of the center, by a small one but adapted kitchen in the form of `L' whose cooking furniture allows to pack the utensil. Perfect for 4 people and with a small one but thought inner table well.

Really, OceanTech offers with its model Malbec 240 a sailboat to us with noticeable EC accredited in all Europe, very versatile and adapted for any program of navigation to candle, which it will be able to participate with advantage in regatas or also to enjoy friendly or family in cruises aim week.
