History of Sigma Yachts

Sigma Yachts was established in the United Kingdom back in the late 1970s, radically changing the sailing landscape with their line of high-performance cruiser racers. This innovative boat manufacturer found immediate popularity and, amidst great appreciation, quickly emerged as one of the leader troves of cruiser-racer designs across the globe.

Sigma's boat-building ideology was centred on the concept of crafting cruiser racers that could operate well on both fronts. David Thomas, a well-known British designer, was the mastermind behind the creations that were famous for their speed, seaworthy build, and sensible below-deck arrangements. The Sigma 33’ and 36' became stalwarts at yacht clubs, with enduring popularity that has spanned decades.

Today, Sigma yachts are no longer in production but they remain an iconic part of the sport cruiser racing yacht genealogy. Even though the company has since changed hands and moved its base of operations to other regions, Sigma's original home was in Cornwall, and many of their yachts are still seen sailing and racing on UK waters. This timeless brand fully embodies the spirit of robust British sailing engineering and their exemplary product line remains a testimony to their excellence.

Review of Sigma 8 m

Basic specs..

Unknown keel type

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.00 - 1.10 meter (3.28 - 3.58 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Sigma 8 m is about 134 kg/cm, alternatively 751 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 134 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 751 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Broker's Comments

The Sigma 8 is a sports boat which offers a lot of fun for your bucks. One for the adrenaline junkie. The boat has a drop keel for transportation but is fixed when racing. She does not have soft furnishings, the interior is stripped out for racing, although she could be tidied up if you did wish to sleep aboard. A competitive boat for a competitive price.

Used Sigma Yachts boats for sale

Jeanneau sun odyssey 40.3, comar comet 460, compromis 888, sigma 33 ood, the review of our community on sigma yachts, why trust us , already 19 boats sold through us, all about sigma yachts brand.

Sigma boats had their heyday in the late 1970s. This was a trademark created by Marine Project, a British company that built them alongside the Moody range. Moodys were pure cruisers and Marine Project wanted to gain a foothold in the lucrative race/cruise market. The first to leave the yard was the 33, a competitive boat at the time.

Around 1988, Sigma merged with Moody and production ceased in late 1992. The most popular models were the Sigma 33, 36, 38 and 41. Others, such as the 29 and 35, were less successful, but this doesn't mean that they were less well-designed, simply that prizes and the effects of fashion carry a lot of weight in the regatta world! Sigma yachts: speedy and seaworthy!

In fact, it was the middle of a race that inspired the Sigma 38! Following the tragic Fastnet 1979, the Royal Ocean Racing Club and the Royal Thames Yacht Club joined forces to sponsor research into a boat capable of coping with the difficult conditions of the Irish Sea. A drawing by David Thomas, who had already designed the Sigma 33, won the prize. The design was the Sigma 38, which became extremely popular: 125 were built, and owners continue to run a thriving club. Northshore Shipyard bought the moulds, but, for cost reasons, only one unit was produced, in the mid-1990s.
