Although simplification has been prioritized, the hull itself is highly advanced. Never before have Cormate boats racing genes been more apparent. Extremely low weight and a new and revolutionary “Monostep” construction (developed by Cormate) provides an efficiency that until now has been impossible to achieve with this size and type of boat. 

By making the last part of the bow straighter, the hull’s effective water length is increased, but not to the extreme that the bow’s angel of attack does not provide enough hydrodynamic lift when diving in to large waves – or making it difficult when going ashore on rocky shorelines. Utility 23 also has an aggressive delta-bottom construction (hull width decreases fast toward the bow), but has still a relatively moderate deadrise progression compared to many other modern hulls. The combination provides a precise and soft ride without an unforgiving “double rudder” effect. This further reduces the risk of the bow to oversteer in following swells or a “Spin Out” at high speeds turns.

The narrow step with clean upper hull surfaces and chine panels (without steps), gives undisturbed water to the chine. This also reduces the risk of “oversteer” and “spin out” when turning at high speeds.

The combination of the Monostep construction, the aggressive delta shape and the sharp 24.5 degree deadrise, ensures sporty performance and comfort far beyond what’s usual in this class. The cost-effective simplified and smart production methods, makes the boat very affordable even with the highest level of quality. Combined with the light weight and super efficient hull it’s also very economical to own.
