The Sunbeam OD (One Design) represents a specialized chapter in the history of the Austrian shipyard Schöchl Yachtbau. Engineered as a highperformance racing keelboat, the Sunbeam OD was designed to bridge the gap between a pure regatta machine and a highquality daysailer. Launched in the mid1990s, this 7.35meter vessel was the result of a collaboration with the prolific J&J Design studio, which sought to create a boat that could compete effectively in European inland and coastal onedesign circuits. Unlike the more cruiseroriented models in the Sunbeam stable, the OD prioritizes sail areatodisplacement efficiency and ergonomic cockpit layouts for active crew work. Its construction adheres to the shipyard’s rigorous standards, utilizing handlaid fiberglass and highgrade deck hardware, ensuring that while the boat is light enough for competitive racing, it retains the structural rigidity and longevity characteristic of the Sunbeam Yachts brand.
