Ricochet 940
Description
The Ricochet 940 is a 31-foot performance cruiser of uncertain design provenance, with limited documentation available regarding its designer, builder, or production history. While the specific naval architect remains unidentified in sailing databases, the boat demonstrates sophisticated engineering with solid fiberglass construction on a steel frame, featuring a fin keel with dynamic bulb configuration. Production appears to have been limited, with examples dating to around 2000, though exact quantities built remain undocumented. Notable features include exceptional interior headroom of 1.95m (6'5"), an unusual three-cabin layout for its size, spade rudder with wheel steering, and a versatile sail plan that bridges the cruiser-racer gap effectively.
