Ultralite Raceboat
Description
The Ultralite Raceboat is a rare, lightweight 28-foot racing sloop designed by Carl Schumacher (1949–2002), a California naval architect known for fast, innovative performance boats like the Express series (27/34/37), Alerion Express line, and various custom ULDB-inspired projects. It fits squarely in the Ultra Light Displacement Boat (ULDB) genre popular on the West Coast in the 1970s–1980s, emphasizing minimal weight for exceptional speed in a variety of conditions, especially light air and reaching/running. The Ultralite Raceboat appears to be a custom or limited project rather than a mass-produced model (no major factory builder listed).
