What are the differences between the DinghyGo Nomad (275) and the later Orca 280 and further models ?

To further improve portability, design and quality, a number of changes have been made to the DinghyGo Nomad.

With the current Orca 280, the robust construction has remained the same. The main improvements are: lighter hull materials and beautifully shaped lightweight composite seat / daggerboard box, deck & mast foot holder.

This has reduced the weight of the boat and sail kit by -10 Kg (-20%). The new color of the mast and boom is silver. The new color of the mast is silver.

Furthermore, the model is equipped with a more pointed bow and deeper forefoot to improve close-hauled sailing (pointing). The original medium pressure bottom has been replaced by a high pressure (dropstich) bottom, which has further improved the sailing characteristics.

The Orca 325 and 375 models are also produced according to this design philosophy.
