The Sprinto is a French trailerable sailboat that was designed by Joubert Nivelt Design as a racer and first built in 2000. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Production

The design was built by Archambault Boats of Dangé-Saint-Romain, France, starting in 2000, but it is now out of production. Archambault, which had been founded in 1967, went out of business in 2015. ^{[1] [3] [4]}

The design was changed through its production run, incorporating design changes over time. ^{[1] [3]}

Design

The Sprinto is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass. It has a fractional sloop rig with aluminum spars, a deck-stepped mast, wire standing rigging and a single set of swept spreaders. The hull has a plumb stem, a sharply reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a swing keel. Later models had a drop keel and a revised sailplan layout. It mounts a retractable bowsprit, displaces 1,323 lb (600 kg) and carries 441 lb (200 kg) of ballast. ^{[1] [3]}

The boat has a draft of 5.25 ft (1.60 m) with the swing keel extended and 0.66 ft (0.20 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. ^{[1] [3]}

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and manoeuvring. ^{[1] [3]}

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with an asymmetrical spinnaker. It has a hull speed of 6.2 kn (11.5 km/h). ^[3]
