Sly 43 Vicsail
Sly Yachts celebrates the beginning of a new era in which performances and pleasure are combined with comfort and design.

In performance, Sly process enables light displacement and it maximizes load-resistance. In design, thanks to the Sly know-how in planning, today expanded with the Nauta Yachts contribution to stylish interiors design.


Every detail is carefully studied to create comfortable and functional space. Design, execution and advanced materials - allowing for a real performing hull and great maneuverability – they also produce large areas for sea-live. Sly43 has a large cockpit allowing for a great outdoor life as well as for quickly working in full crew when racing. The open transom allows easy access to the sea and fast drainage in case of long glide at high speed. To have a better sheeting angle the Jib travellers are installed on the beautiful coach roof designed by Nauta Yachts. Numbers of hatches allow for optimum ventilation. The Sly43 sporty mood allows to easily trim into race mood through small and simple adjustments.

• Sly43 hull and deck are a high tech confection of E-glass laminates sandwiching a PVC foam core infused by epoxy-vyniliester resin.

• Reinforcement carbon grid is vacuum bagged and laminated to the hull so that it becomes a true part of it.

• Composite bulkheads.

• The result is a light displacement, great stiffness and torsional resistance.

• Efficient appendages complete the picture and contribute to performances for which Sly Yachts is renowned.
