Hartley Byte CII
Beautifully built with GRP using a foam sandwich construction, the Byte CII weighs just 45.5KG. In addition the high boom position enables the daggerboard to be raised almost fully for easier launching and recovery. The mainsheet is sheeted from the centre of the cockpit directly to the mid-boom position so it doesn’t catch on the transom which is a particular advantage especially when gybing downwind. The cockpit is large and self drains quickly, the high boom is also a distinct advantage for taller sailors.
The superb fully battened 2mm laminated Mylar sail is coupled with a specially designed 2 part Hybrid mast, made from Carbon at the bottom for stiffness and from Glass fibre in the upper section to allow flexibility. The flexibility in the upper section allows the rig to automatically de-power by spilling wind from the top of the sail when the rig becomes overpowered. This specially designed rig makes the Byte CII much more manageable for lighter helms in heavy winds. Suitable for mid-weight sailors when racing, and enjoyed by one or two people for leisurely cruising. The new lightweight Byte CII takes the back ache out of launching and recovery, therfore manoeuvering the boat on the trolley or around the dinghy park is very easy.
