Carbon Arrow is a truly unique yacht, combining the latest technology in racing yacht construction with the modern styling and hi-quality craftsmanship of Marten Yachts, New Zealand. The hull and deck are built in carbon fibre pre-preg with nomex and corecell foam ensuring a stong, light and durable structure. Apart from the teak decking in the cockpit, there is no wood on this boat, all visible surfaces are finished in composite, a monumental amount of work that very few shipyards are able to achieve.
Sailing this yacht is a breeze with fully hydraulic deck and rig controls. Well set up for short or even single handed sailing, the hydraulic systems can even be controlled by remote control allowing freedom of movement around the deck.
