The Sprinto is a French trailerable sailboat that was designed by Joubert Nivelt Design as a racer and first built in 2000.[1] [2] [3]

Production

The design was built by Archambault Boats of Dangé-Saint-Romain, France, starting in 2000, but it is now out of production. Archambault, which had been founded in 1967, went out of business in 2015.[1] [3] [4]

The design was changed through its production run, incorporating design changes over time.[1] [3]

Design

The Sprinto is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass. It has a fractional sloop rig with aluminum spars, a deck-stepped mast, wire standing rigging and a single set of swept spreaders. The hull has a plumb stem, a sharply reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a swing keel. Later models had a drop keel and a revised sailplan layout. It mounts a retractable bowsprit, displaces 13230NaN0 and carries 4410NaN0 of ballast.[1] [3]

The boat has a draft of 5.25feet with the swing keel extended and 0.66feet with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1] [3]

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and manoeuvring.[1] [3]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with an asymmetrical spinnaker. It has a hull speed of 6.2kn.[3]
