The Shaw 650 represents a pinnacle of the modern sportsboat philosophy, blending the aggressive performance of a highperformance skiff with the relative stability of a ballasted keelboat. Designed by New Zealand’s Rob Shaw, the vessel emerged from a design brief focused on maximizing powertoweight ratios while maintaining a platform that could be easily trailered and managed by a crew of three or four. The design utilizes a highchine, narrowwaterline hull that transitions into flat aft sections, a configuration optimized for early planing. According to Rob Shaw Yacht Design, the boat was specifically engineered to provide an accessible entry point into highspeed asymmetric sailing, utilizing a retractable carbon fiber bowsprit and a deep, highaspect lifting bulb keel.
