Fulcrum Speedworks – Rocket

Experience Fulcrum Speedworks exciting new entry into the popular board boat category: the Rocket Board Boat. The 14-foot long Rocket is made with rugged but extra-light-weight cored composite construction and weighs just 90 pounds. And instead of a tiny footwell, the Rocket’s cockpit is a full six feet, three inches in length, providing plenty of room for two adults, one adult and two kids, three kids, lots of gear … well, there’s lots of room. Some have taken to calling this boat “the pickup truck of the dinghy world.”

And performance? Boy howdy, this thing can fly! Board boats are great fun because they are close to the water and responsive to every gust. This is elemental sailing at its best. It points into the wind like a dream, yet it’s stable and controllable even in heavy winds. And the boom clearance is designed so you and your passengers don’t have to duck every time you tack or jibe.

Have you seen the Rocket yet? Come take a look at one at The Ship Store at Fay’s Boat Yard in Gilford, New Hampshire. If it’s not out on the lake being sailed by someone having more fun than is probably legal.
