SEABISCUIT’s extremely elegant exterior and interior were designed by Hoek Design Naval Architects, who was also responsible for her innovative engineering. This Dutch built lightweight, high-performance aluminium sailing yacht is the first neoclassical schooner with a high aspect ratio lifting keel and a spade rudder. Her keel design and structure are revolutionary for a yacht of this size and her sailing performance is unprecedented, thanks to countless wind tunnel tests and optimization with the Velocity Prediction Program.

Large pins attached to either side of her keel close the hole in the bottom structure in the downward position. As a result, the system works flawlessly, which has led, among other things, to Seabiscuit winning the highest prize for technical performance from ShowBoats International and the 2007 SNB-MDY Award for technical innovation and yacht design. Seabiscuit has also won multiple races in the Spirit of Tradition Regattas and she won the St. Barths Bucket in 2012.
