She is a cutter rigged sloop with a slab reefing, fully battened mainsail. Fast Forwarddelivers very respectable performance characteristics, and given the right windconditions she will easily do 200 nautical miles per day. Her longest passage being3640 nautical miles from Sailinas, Ecuador to Fatu Hiva, French Polynesia took only18 days; and she covered the 440 nautical miles from Minerva Reef to Savu Savu, Fijiin just 2 days. She also sails well to windward. In light to moderate conditions, the 2meter folding bowsprit affords you further sail plan options including a light windgenoa, a code 3, or one of two asymmetricals.

The aluminium dodger/bimini provide the ultimate protection from the elements both atanchor and whilst underway. In addition to providing good visibility, the centre cockpitprovides a safe haven in which you can reef without having to go forward to the mast.That said, she also boasts a very safe and easy to use anti-jibe system that is easilyhandled by one person from the confines of the cockpit. This is also a dry cockpit inrough conditions. Most of the halyards and reefing lines run back to the cockpit andare coiled in the recessed box under the folding companionway door, thereby keepingthe cockpit safe and uncluttered.

The standing rigging was replaced in March 2008. All eleven winches are Harken, fourof which are electric. Overall the deck is very organized and uncluttered thanks to thelarge lazarettes and lockers. She has twin anchor rollers that are home to a CQR and aRocna anchor; two spinnaker poles are also part of her inventory. Her huge sail lockerat the bow has its own collision bulkhead and bilge pumps. The 18hp retractable MaxPower bow thruster makes docking this large yacht with only 2 people on board anabsolute cinch. The robust Whitlock steering and autopilot equipment has beenprovided us with exceptional performance on this journey, and apart from having toreplace a new motor on the autopilot 3 years ago it has been an indispensable 3rdmember of our crew. The custom designed Whitlock reverse steering wheel makes iteasy to use the engine and bow thruster controls when maneuvering in close quarters.

The navigation equipment inventory is extensive and includes an AIS SLR 200; PactorIII Pro modem for offshore communication; as well as a Garmin 5012 touch screenchart plotter at the helm. An additional chart plotting system as well as the radar arelocated in the nav station which is not only visible from the helm, but also from thesmall settee opposite which doubles as a safe and comfortable sea berth.

The davits have been designed for ease of use, enabling one person to launch and haulthe dinghy. The teak transom boarding area is not only aesthetically pleasing andpractical, but also serves a great swimming platform for water activities.

Down below…Fast Forward’s beautifully crafted and spacious interior has a bright and airy feel whichis attributed to her well finished Canadian maple interior, cream vinyl headlining andcream leather upholstery. The primary custom feature is the luxuriously comfortablesaloon amidships featuring a C-shaped seating area that can easily seat 8 around thebeautifully crafted circular table. Three large windows in the slightly raised coachroofprovide an enormous amount of natural light and headroom.

Eleven port lights and ten hatches throughout provide ample cross-ventilation.

Her full length galley is extremely practical and the onyx Staron countertops coupledwith the under-counter lighting simply add a glamorously modern touch. Work area isgenerous and there is ample storage. Major components are thoughtfully placed withinreach, and one is safely able to prepare a meal even at the most severe angles!

Accommodation includes a luxuriously spacious full width master cabin which featuresa walk-around centerline queen sized bed, LCD TV, good ventilation, ample storageincludes a full length hanging locker. The ensuite features a bath tub/shower. Twosingle berths are located just forward of the mast, which share a common head. Thiscabin features a dividing screen that can be pulled out to create two private berths. Thecounter tops are onyx Staron in both heads. The quarter cabin has been converted intoa storeroom.

The engine, generator, desalinator and other equipment is easily accessed via nineremovable side panels, two sets of steps and the landing (in companionway).

In closing, Fast Forward is a robust and ruggedly beautiful cruiser and needs to be seento be fully appreciated.
