Enter 360

The Enter 360 was designed in 1993, but the concept originated from the intense and wonderful racing years in Marstrand, Sweden ten years ago when the J 24, Albin Express, and Maxi Racer were the largest classes in Sweden.

Nicopoli has three Enter 360:

  • One delivered on 07/1999, based in Preveza.

  • One delivered on 03/2000, based in Preveza.

  • One delivered on 07/2000, based in Poros in the Aegean.

Fast sailing without sacrificing comfort

The idea came about as the young racers from Marstand got older and began to start families. They still loved racing but now they also wanted a boat that the whole family could enjoy. Which boat shall you then choose? There were a couple of alternatives, but none seemed to offer both a high level of performance and commodious accomadations. Discussion then began on how to best fulfill these dual demands.

The Enter 360 is the product of this search. It is a boat which is designed and equipped to provide the family long and comfortable vacations without sacrificing performance. It is the result of an exhaustive research and development effort and we are confident that you will find it to be in a class by itself.

In sum, the Enter class of boats are very easy to sail and are designed by sailors with families who weren’t willing to forsake their racing heritage. We believe it excels in both performance and comfort and we offer it proudly to you.

Facts about Enter 360
  • Comfortable cruiser/racer that provides 100% satisfaction both when you are sailing and when you are spending time in port.
  • Easy handling due to her sailing performance (Lys handicap 1.25) and her sails. Furlex and single line reefing are included as standard equipment.
  • Very high quality design, construction, craftsmanship and equipment.
  • Very luxurious interior in Mahogany.
  • 6 berths.
Hull and deck
To achieve a strong, light and well insulated boat, the hull and deck are laminated with sandwich technology and divinycell as distance material. The bottom of the boat is made of a single laminate with strong longitudinal and transverse reinforced beams. The hull and deck are handlaid with ISO-polyester and NGA gelcoat to achieve long life and afford protection from the elements.

Keel and rudder
To achieve the best sailing feeling, the rudder has a bearing of circular torch to minimize friction. The keel is made of lead with an antimony through bolted with 7 stainless steel bolts.

Electrical system
One 75 Ah battery powers the engine starter motor; two additional 75 Ah batterys support the remaining electrical equipment. The Dc circuit breaker panel contains voltmeter, ampmeter and 12 automatic fuses. The batterys are charged from either the 55 Ah engine generator or from the shore connected 25Ah batterycharger.

Rigg
The spar is made by Seldén. The spreaders are sweptback and the forestay is attached at 9/10’s of the mast. Single line reefing, rodkick and windex are standard (Lazy jacks and furlex are also standard on "Explicit").

Sails
Main sail and jib is standard on Enter 360. Mainsail with two fullbattens, selftacking jib and gennaker is also standard on Enter 360 Explicit.

Engine
The engine is a freshwatercooled, 27 hp diesel engine from Yanmar. To achieve the best sailing performance, she is equipped with saildrive and a folding propeller with two blades.

Nicopoli notes
This is not your normal charter boat. Boats from Bavaria, Jeanneau, etc. have been made to offer maximum space on a given length. This is fine but it also usually results in a slow "bathtub" feeling when sailing them!

The Enter 360 has a slim hull that is a real pleasure to sail. You will notice that she has considerable draft, and a very high ballast/weight ratio. Speeds in excess of 6-7 knots are the normal as soon as there is some wind in your sails (Force 2-3 or more).

The large cocpit and the platform on the back are perfect for the warm weather of the Ionian allowing immediate access to the sea for cooling down when anchored or just laying your feet in the sea while the boat is sailing.
