The MAT 12 design represents an extension of the successful Mills Design IRC Cruiser/Racer theme blending the performance characteristics of a racing design with the comfort and accommodation of a performance cruiser, resulting in a true dual-purpose yacht. Building on their production IRC experience, and sharing many of attributes of our 40' racing design Tiamat, this 41' performance design promises both racing and cruising enjoyment. This design concentrates on good all-around speed in a wide range of conditions.

Twin wheels allow the driver the best possible vision and communication with the mainsheet trimmer seated directly in front of him. A liferaft locker in the cockpit floor is a great feature for offshore racing and multiple opening ports and hatches provide the best airflow to the interior. The swept spreader alloy rig, with a carbon option, with masthead spinnakers and non-overlapping jibs is also the most popular sailplan for a wide range of sailing. With no runners or large jibs to worry about both racing and cruising are faster and more enjoyable.
