54 years of Nylet racing yacht kits.
Nylet 'THETIS' IOM racing yacht available as kits, with various options.

'THETIS' (Greek goddess of water) a new design in 2013 and having been on trials a season prior. The design performs well and is a very stable yacht which points well and is also fast on the run.
She handles well in most conditions encountered and can maintain position with her top rig until wind conditions really stiffen. When beating barely noticable weather helm is an aid to maintenance of a steady course. Hands off sailing shows her stable nature and she points closely. The hull shape pays dividends in the way she is quick to accelerate from a stand.
