Tornado presentation

The tornado, the king of 20th century sport catamarans.

With a length of just over 6 metres and a width of 3 metres, the Tornado is a terribly efficient machine on a course between 3 buoys. Since 1996 the Tornado has been equipped with a spinnaker, a horn mainsail, a battened jib and a double trapeze.

The platform has been adapted to this new equipment, and is very similar to that of a Formula 18: a rigid or fabric spinnaker swallower is fitted along the spinnaker pole, a self-tacking jib track has been fitted on the forward beam, footstraps have been fitted at the rear of the floats to prevent the helmsman and crew from flying downwind.

An alliance of power and finesse, the Tornado is undoubtedly the fastest and most spectacular sports catamaran before they were fitted with foils!

For the crew, the ideal weight is 145 kilos.

1976 PantherCraft Tornado Sport Rig

• Description

Seller's Description

The Tornado Catamaran is one of the fastest production sailboats in the world. The Tornado was used as the equipment for the multihull discipline in the Olympic Games from 1976 through 2008. The rig was modified in 2001 to increase the Tornado’s performance even further with a new sail plan which included a spinnaker and spinnaker boom, as well as an increased sail area of the existing sails. An additional trapeze was also added, and the jib was made self tacking. Perfect if you are looking for a little more speed. This is a 70’s era Tornado built by PantherCraft in the UK. The boat has been upgraded to the Sport Rig with the square-top main, spinnaker, and self-tacking Jib as used in the Olympics. It would be a good choice for a sailor on a budget.Square-top Main and Self-tacking jib – Built by Elliot/Pattinson Sailmakers (High performance sailcloth, not class legal) Crispy Spinnaker – Built by Giorgio Zuccoli/Ullman Sails Italy Snuffer - Landenberger One Design - Dacron sleeve needs to be replaced Hulls – Painted, could be repainted Rudders and centerboards - fiberglass covered wood Rudder stocks – SailCraft of Canada Mast – Aluminum Standing Rigging - Excellent Trapeze wires – Vinyl covered stainless w/ Hi-Low Trapeze Adjustment Running rigging – Tapered mainsheet, tapered spinnaker sheets Trampoline – excellent, sewn with Teflon thread, no UV damage Boat covers – no special fitted covers, always used poly tarps.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

World’s coolest yachts: Tornado catamaran

• April 20, 2021

We ask top sailors and marine industry gurus to choose the coolest and most innovative yachts of our times. This month, Carolijn Brouwer nominates the Tornado catamaran

“The Tornado catamaran is a really cool boat. It was my introduction to high performance sailing and it had a big influence on me in many ways.

“Once you get a taste for it, there is no way back. Sailing the Tornado opened up different doors for me in my sailing career,” says Carolijn Brouwer .

The Tornado catamaran was for many years the fastest Olympic sailing class and was the first catamaran to be introduced to the Olympic Games. It was first sailed in the 1976 Olympic Games and saw its last Olympic appearance in 2008.

There was not multihull option for sailing at the Olympic Games in 2012, but the Tornado undoubtedly led the way for the current catamaran class, the Nacra 17, which must be sailed with a female and a male member of the crew.

“Sailing the Tornado is where I got the feel for apparent wind sailing. It’s a pretty big cat in the small boat sailing world with its 20ft length and 10ft width creating decent loads and righting moment.

“Also, the Tornado was the only Open discipline at the Olympic Games but it was extremely male dominated.”

Brouwer helmed for Belgium at the 2008 Games, sailing a Tornado catamaran with crew Sébastien Godefroid. “I hope this showed that being a woman you can compete at a high level and be very competitive against men in a mixed gender configuration – just like the great Paul Elvstrøm did sailing with his daughter.”

Tornado catamaran stats rating:

Top speed: 20 knots LOA: 20ft/6.1m Launched: 1967 Berths: 0 Price: £23,000 Adrenalin factor: 70%
