1, 2, 3 Gunboats launched in 2023!
From vision to reality: In 2023, we launched three Gunboats in the first half of the year! At Gunboat, there was a huge focus on productivity and delivering on our promise, getting three new Gunboats on the water, including launching two new series in the carbon-fiber-flesh. Here's a look back at the splash of all three:
Gunboat 68
In February, the 6th Gunboat 68 splashed with the wow factor on steroids in deep metallic blue, sporting an upgraded performance rig adding a meter in every direction (mast, boom, and longeron). 68.06 is just as fully equipped for cruising, for a program that will enjoy both multihull racing and family cruising.
Gunboat 72
In April, Gunboat 72.01 made a splash! The 1st Gunboat 72 expanded the realm of Gunboat to the cruising world with flybridge sailing and a reimagined interior. 72.01 features a flybridge helm station and sail handling, with push button controls and autopilot support at the bridgedeck level, and an interior emphasizing the desires of the owner’s cruising lifestyle.
Gunboat 80
In June we celebrating a huge milestone with the launch of the first Gunboat 80!
The 80 is highly customizable with owner selected options throughout, and 80.01 is optimized for racing. Some of they key performance and weight saving features include a full prepreg structure, very long asymmetrical daggerboards, a performance hydraulic package, and lightweight aircraft furniture.

In 2024 we'll do it all over again, launching 6807, 7202, and 8002 in the first half of the year – and we look forward to the sailing stories and footage from the adventures of these yachts!
