What this video covers

The Saffier SC24 Lite is a 24-foot daysailer featuring a carbon deck and sandwich hull construction.1:22 The boat lacks a backstay, which simplifies rigging and allows for a square-top mainsail, though it limits traditional mast bend adjustments.2:12 To tension the forestay, the crew must rely on the mainsail sheet, making the traveler and the fine-tune adjustment system—integrated directly into the boom—critical for performance.2:25 The cockpit layout prioritizes ergonomics, with halyard winches positioned on the coachroof to reduce clutter and improve workspace for the crew.2:07 Propulsion comes from a 3 kW Torqeedo electric motor, which provides a top speed of 6 knots with a range of 7 to 8 nautical miles at full throttle.2:55 Range increases significantly at 4 to 5 knots, supported by integrated solar panels on the deck that charge the motor battery.3:09 While the interior theoretically accommodates four people, the low freeboard and minimal headroom make it suitable only for day sailing.3:37
