Field Trip is built on a GRP monohull constructed using a vacuum-infused polyester and foam core sandwich process — a modern technique that precisely controls fiber and resin placement, producing a lighter, stronger finished structure than traditional hand layup. The hull below the waterline is solid fiberglass laminate for maximum impact resistance, while the deck utilizes the same foam sandwich construction for stiffness and weight reduction.
The hull-to-deck joint is formed with an inward flange providing a solid integral bulwark. An internal grid distributes loads from the rig throughout the hull.
The L-shaped cast iron keel with hydrodynamic bulb delivers powerful righting moment and excellent upwind performance. A single spade rudder provides precise and responsive steering.
The mast is deck-stepped aluminum with two swept-back spreader levels and 1x19 strand wire continuous standing rigging.
Field Trip carries a 9/10 fractional Marconi sloop rig on a deck-stepped aluminum mast with two swept-back spreader levels and 1x19 strand wire continuous standing rigging. The fractional configuration allows mast bend for mainsail shape tuning across a wide wind range — a hallmark of performance-oriented cruising design.
The standard running rigging plan comprises main halyard, two reef lines, mainsheet, self-tacking jib sheet, furling line, and genoa halyard.
The self-tacking jib is one of Field Trip's most practical features — tacking requires no headsail sheet handling, making short-tacking, marina approaches, and single-handed sailing significantly simpler.
Field Trip is configured in the two-cabin layout, delivering maximum space and privacy for an owner-operator couple. The full-length V-berth forward serves as the owner's master cabin with generous stowage on both sides.
A private double cabin aft provides comfortable guest or crew accommodation.
A single head with shower serves the two-cabin layout, positioned centrally for easy access from both cabins.
The interior flows openly from the companionway forward to the bow, maximizing the sense of space. The saloon features a full chart table, saloon and chart table reading lights, and the Dufour signature wine rack built into the companionway sole — a small but distinctive touch.
Interior lighting is LED throughout with individual cabin reading lights and separate saloon lighting circuits. Cabin sole is finished with non-slip tread on glazed areas and non-skid coatings on working deck surfaces.
The galley is positioned immediately below the companionway, keeping the cook in easy communication with the cockpit. It is equipped with a gas stove and oven fed via a dedicated vented gas locker, a refrigeration unit on its own 10A circuit, single-lever mixer tap, and full galley sink.
The gas system incorporates a CE shut-off valve, 30 mbar CE regulator, and copper supply piping throughout.
