What this video covers

The Rimar 41.3 is a 41-foot cruising sailboat built by Rimar (Riparazioni Marittime) in Forlì, Italy, designed by Giovanni Ceccarelli and tested at Marina Blu Rimini.▶ 0:29 The hull is hand-laminated with vinyl ester resin; the underwater sections are solid laminate while the topsides use vacuum-infused sandwich construction.▶ 1:22 A grid of longitudinal stringers and floors is bonded to the hull, and all bulkheads are structural.▶ 1:49 Ceccarelli's lines produce a low freeboard, modest overhangs, slightly flared topsides, and fine bow sections.▶ 0:53 On deck, a low, streamlined coachroof opens wide, uncluttered side decks.▶ 0:53 The cockpit organises mainsheet controls in a German-style split arrangement within the helmsman's reach, and the steering wheel is recessed by roughly one-third to improve sightlines over the coachroof.▶ 2:29 The cruising sail plan pairs a mainsail of over 58 square metres with a slightly overlapping 37-square-metre jib.▶ 3:36 Sea trials in 12 knots of breeze returned speeds above 6.8 knots on the wind, with stable, responsive helm.▶ 2:01 A tacking test with four crew aboard produced a turning radius of just over 10 metres.▶ 3:43
