The performance cruiser designed by Simonis/Voogd is advertised by the South African shipyard Pacer Yachts as a light displacement boat. Just under 11.50 metres long and weighing only 5.4 tonnes, it is uncompromisingly designed for weight optimisation.
However, the Pacer 376 is not only an ultimate racer, but also offers good comfort for sea voyages with a complete interior with three cabins and a wet room.
The Pacer 376 is built as a sandwich construction with a foam core, laminated with epoxy resins. The modern performance cruiser is available in two versions as a standard boat with a draught of 2.40 metres for a price of 205,950 euros or as a designated racer with a carbon fibre rig and a draught of 2.60 metres.
2.60 metres draught. The regatta version of the new Pacer costs 236,810 euros.
The boat is uncompromisingly designed to the IRC measurement. The slim, high sail plan with a slightly overlapping genoa (107 per cent), the performance keel with torpedo bomb and the spinnaker equipment speak for themselves. The Pacer 376 has a TCC value of 1.098.
Following its first appearance at the hanseboot in Hamburg, the Pacer 376 is now also making its trade fair debut at the boot in Düsseldorf (Hall 16, Stand D 30). Schwern Yachten in Wedel near Hamburg is responsible for sales in Germany.
