Spirited yet stable self-righting one-design in an innovative and affordable package

From the parking lot of the spanking-new US Sailing Center in Jenson Beach, along central Florida's Treasure Coast, we spotted the distinctive new 16-foot Raider daysailer. It was hard to miss. Perched on a trailer at the water's edge, the Raider Sport model looked something like a miniature Stealth Bomber.

The details Just beyond the snub bow, at a point near the maststep, the Raider's hull flares dramatically and carries its beam aft like wings on a paper airplane. While the overall beam is 7 feet, 4 inches, creating a length-to-beam ratio of 45 percent, the waterline beam is much less. The flared sections are filled with flotation that not only makes the Raider extremely light and stable but also unique in its ability to self-right after a full knockdown.

Steve Maseda and I joined designer John Drawe as he finished setting up the rig and prepping the Raider Sport for sailing. Although the Raider Sport offers terrific performance, it does not require an engineering degree to rig. After a bit of practice it takes less than 10 minutes to go from trailer to full sail, and you won't need to get wet past your ankles, the board up draft is just 6 inches and rudder kicks up. Once sailing, the board down draft is 3 feet, 5 inches. The Raider Sport displaces a whopping 200 pounds, needless to say it can be towed behind any vehicle with four wheels.

On deck "The self-righting feature is only part of the package," Drawe said. "My objective was to create a fast boat that does not require an expert to sail. The Raider planes easily. Also, the wide hull shape makes it very stable." Drawe, a retired auto engineer, is also the designer of the Raider line of snowmobiles.

Steve Maseda, a former president of the Melges 24 one-design class and an experienced small-boat sailor, climbed in first. The Raider's remarkable stability was immediately obvious. Maseda is no lightweight, but he was able to step directly on the gunwale and position himself comfortably in the cockpit without any fears of upsetting the boat.

The Sailing Center was sheltered from the light southerly breeze and Steve had to coax the boat off the beach. The Intracoastal Waterway is wide at Jenson Beach and eventually he picked up a few puffs. From the perspective of the photo boat the acceleration was impressive. The breeze finally filled in, and turning off the wind, Maseda popped the small asymmetrical chute. Heading north on a reach with a true wind around 8 knots the boat began to plane and we had to push the throttle on the photo boat just to keep up with him.

The Sport model includes a tapered carbon spar and carries slightly more sail area than the standard Raider 16, which is fitted with a two-piece aluminum mast. The dual sail controls are also slightly souped up on the Sport and the mainsail is a DIAX/Dacron laminate. The fractionally rigged asymmetrical chute includes a sleeve and a clever halyard and downhaul arrangement. Hardware is by Harken and Ronstan.

Raiders are built by Johannsen Boat Works in Vero Beach, Florida. Mark Johannsen also produces the well-known Trinka tenders. Sailors everywhere admire these handsome rowing and sailing dinghies. Johannsen is passionate about small boats and not surprisingly the construction quality of the Raider 16 is excellent. The laminate schedule calls for biaxial E-glass and vinylester resin. The curved hull sections require sophisticated tooling but the result is a boat that is both visually appealing and structurally sound.

Under sail Although the Raider performs best as a solo boat, I was impatient. I jumped from the photo boat and joined Steve in less than graceful fashion. The Raider has a rated capacity of 400 pounds and we were certainly pushing that limit. Taking the helm, I continued heading north. The boat was very responsive and, despite our bulk, continued to plane. The 48-inch tiller extension is almost too long, unless you're hiking. Jibing the spinnaker was a snap and we quickly brought the boat back up to a plane and sped south.

The boat hummed as we accelerated after each maneuver. Steve remarked politely how the extra hands were helpful but I could tell he resented my extra 200 pounds! Eventually we scooped up the chute and tacked toward shore. The Raider does not fly a headsail but is nonetheless easily driven and very close-winded. The boat tracks well with the board down.

A fast reach carried us back to the beach. We were having so much fun that we forgot to test the self-righting feature. John Drawe volunteered to demonstrate and, I confess, I decided to let him get wet instead of me. He sailed into deep water and did his best to try to capsize. Each time the flared topsides would dig into the water and refuse to submerge. At an angle less than 90 degrees the Raider would pop back onto its feet.

I was impressed. Not only will the Raider right itself quickly from a knockdown, it will be something of a challenge to knock the boat down to begin with. A simple hook arrangement on the clew and outhaul allows the loose-fitted main to release so that the boat does not sail away without you.

The innovative Raider 16 and Raider Sport offer terrific sailing performance in a safe, affordable package.

Broker's Comments

Raider Boats (although not that big) have an excellent reputation for sea keeping. All the models have a high freeboard making them feel very safe for all passengers aboard.

This Raider 16 has a very high specification which includes a 2017 Suzuki DF70A outboard with approximately 30 hours - hydraulic steering - electric remote control windlass - twin wipers - custom front and rear seat / lockers - complete re-wire - original build at Hackhurst Lane

The boat does not have a trailer but has a marina berth which is paid up to 1/7/2024 which is available by separate negotiation.

This wheelhouse model is very rare and sought-after so early viewing is highly recommended.

Go to Raider Sport 16, 2003 at [email protected] Forum Listing Marketplace Advanced Search Boat & Kayak Angling Boat Angling / Angling Afloat Add to quote Hi all, Any views or experience of the new Raider 16 cuddy. Was about to purchase a Warrior 165 but having tried a demo Raider at the weekend am now unsure as the raider was very impressive. Like to hear from any owners. Mike   I've got an 18 and have been out in a 16. Excellent boat but i just wanted the extra footage on the deck area. Plus the 18 has a lockable cabin for all the gear. The new builders are producing again i believe in Poland. Nicholsons are the big UK suppliers with history from day one. Had a chat with them yesterday - very helpful. There is a survey on this site done some time ago on the 18 under boat reviews. I use my boat in mostly choppy Atlantic waters and it is very safe and handles well. The high gunwhales just give you that extra security. Hard to rinse hands over the side though! Nice rear platform make getting on and off on a mooring a doddle. Downside is that it will not ride at anchor with little tide because the high wheelhouse takes the wind every time. Also manouvering in a breeze requires care and it is usually a case of approaching quayside backwards rather than forwards. Seems well built and goes fast with a 115 on the back. And i don't get commission. Freddy   Thanks for the info Freddy, I think the 18 is a bit big at moment, maybe next time!. The 16 flew with a Suzy 60 and did not slam. Mike   hi ya, i have got a 16 cuddy, its my first boat and i am very impressed with it. Ive had it for about 3 years now and nothing has gone rong with it. Ive got a tohatsu 50 2 stroke on the back, it pushes it along nicely.   do you have to have a braked trailer for the raider16??   Hi Big_haddie They only sell them with braked trailers as far as im aware. There are still UK owned as well. mike   Hi, I have the 165, my mate has the Raider 16. The Raider is faster with the same engine and will loose the 165 on a flat sea. The speed is still usuable in a chop, but I find the ride is very bumpy compared to the 165. The gull wing hull bounces over the waves on the air created and rides very nose high - dont get me wrong it is still safe, just a little more white knuckle. The Warrior rides lower in the water and cuts the waves rather than going over them, the result is a more stable ride - IMHO. Fishing from the boat: The Warrior is more comfortable with the seats, storage and the cabin arrangement, room is OK and the gunwhales are 1" shorter than the raider. The Raider has masses of space but is spartan in comparison. As others have saif the transom platform is useful. Obviously I am biased as I chose the 165 over the 16, but the 16 is a very good boat. Finally, I would go for the flybridge/full screen version over the cuddy. Adam   big_haddie said: do you have to have a braked trailer for the raider16?? Click to expand... unbraked trailers - max. 750kg gross trailer weight or half the towing vehicle's kerb weight - whichever is less.   I sold my predator , and now thinking about a raider16 cuddy. will there be much differents in between the predator and the raider?   Irishron40 said: I sold my predator , and now thinking about a raider16 cuddy. will there be much differents in between the predator and the raider?

Sailboat Guide Raider II is a 16 ′ 2 ″ / 4.9 m monohull sailboat designed by John Drawe/Dave Ellis and built by Johannsen Boat Works starting in 2011. Rig and Sails Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations. The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more. Classic hull speed formula: Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL Sail Area / Displacement Ratio A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more. SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3 SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay). D : Displacement in pounds. Ballast / Displacement Ratio A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize. Ballast / Displacement * 100 Displacement / Length Ratio A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more. D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³ D: Displacement of the boat in pounds. LWL: Waterline length in feet Comfort Ratio This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness.
