Longtze Premier is designed by Steve Thompson, internationally known for creating boats that are “the sleek sports cars of the water”. The boat has the right volume sections for fast upwind sailing in all conditions. Downwind, thanks to the shape associated with light weight and a powerful rig, she will jump early on the surf.  The efficient keel lested by a lead bulb draft at 1.8 meters gives a good stability to the boat. Longtze Premier is a secure and easy boat to sail under all conditions.

The hull is built in sandwich composite, vacuum in female moulds using Eglass and vinylester resin with a PU foam core. As a result, the hull is stiff, light (260 kg) and strong.

The keel consists of a fin reinforced with carbon unis and a hydrodynimacally designed integral lead bulb. The bulb itself weight 227 kg which is 40% of the overall weight of the boat.
