The Bull 7000 is one of the fastest sports cruisers available, 6 knots upwind, but downwind,

the planing hull and asymmetric spinnaker delivers speeds in excess of 15 knots with ease.

However, the Bull has another dimension altogether. A roomy and cleverly designed interior

provides comfortable cruising accommodation for a crew of 4, seating around a saloon table

and cooking facilities in the galley area.

Cruising

When cruising in a small yacht, you need to feel confident in its ability to handle a variety of conditions. To this end the Bull has been designed to be handled by a crew of two persons. Stability is very important; the Bull has a very full and powerful hull shape that gives excellent stability, not only under sail but also when the boat is on the mooring.

Racing Features

Upwind the Bull is responsive, tacks swiftly and the sail controls are light for the crew to handle. 6 knots is easily achieved and with very tight tacking angles, the Bull is a match for much larger yachts. Unlike displacement boats that have a hull speed limit, the planing hull of the Bull greatly extends the potential boat speed and she will plane easily in a moderate breeze. Some owners’ report speeds in excess of 20 knots! However 15 knots is easily achieved. The fractional asymmetric spinnaker gives excellent reaching angles and a masthead asymmetric spinnaker is available for maximum power. All this combined with the swinging bowsprit allows the Bull to sail on a dead run, unlike other fixed bowsprit boats.

Outboard Motor Storage

The outboard is fitted to a special bracket, so that when the motor is not in use it easily swings into a special port seat locker. It is out of sight and the weight is located forward and low down

Cockpit

The cockpit features a large bridge deck, which provides a comfortable working area for the crew when sailing, and makes an excellent sunbed. The main sheet traveller, fitted aft of the bridge deck, extends to the full beam of the boat. Contoured coamings give comfortable crew seating positions with well-positioned footrests. Safety is enhanced with an enclosed transom; large drain holes provide a fast escape for any water taken into the cockpit and strong stanchions and guardrails. The spinnaker is set, gybed and recovered from the cockpit and most other sail controls are led back to the cockpit. this provides for safe sailing with foredeck work kept to a minimum. Twin sliding hatches provide extra light and ventilation below and allow easy access from the cockpit to the saloon.

Below Deck

• The gallery features a large bench and sink area with a separate position that accommodates a 2 burner stove, connected to a gas supply stowed in a separate self draining cockpit locker.

• A chemical toilet is located under the port step with private courtesy curtains around.

• Storage throughout the boat is excellent with more storage than any similar sized cruiser racer.

• The double aft bunk has plenty of light, ventilation and it measures 1.95m x 1.25m.

The hull sides provide a comfortable backrest for sitting up to read.

• With the saloon table raised into position, the forward “V” berth provides seating for up to 6 people.
