ABOUT THE BOAT:
“Magnitude 80" incorporates the latest developments in yacht design to reach the client's goal as the fastest boat to be based in the restricted draft of his home port. All-carbon laminates combine with a canting keel to keep displacement to a minimum while a retractable forward dagger board dramatically reduces offwind drag compared to rotating canard configurations. Drag is further minimized with a retracting sail drive and all appendages - keel, bulb, dagger board and rudder are carefully optimized with the latest CFD tools.

ABOUT THE CREW:
Doug has sailed with the same core crew for many years. They all have many miles of ocean racing experience, are extremely dedicated to making the boat go as fast as possible and always hard working. 

WHAT'S IN A NAME:
Magnitude 80 followed Doug's turboed Andrews 70 Magnitude.
