Designed, proven, and tested to endure. Our Class40 stands among the most resilient offshore racing yachts on the planet.
Founded in 2004, the Class40 is one of the most successful international offshore racing box-rules in history. It was explicitly engineered for short-handed, high-performance ocean crossing.
What makes it so exceptionally good at this? The secret lies in the strict “box-rule” constraints. By restricting expensive exotic materials like carbon-fiber hulls, the class forces designers to focus entirely on robust structural integrity, powerful hull shapes, and reliable, hard-chined stability. The result is a fleet of fiercely competitive, ocean-conquering boats that deliver world-class safety standards and unmatched durability in the planet’s most hostile waters.
We are competing on “TJOBA”—a word that literally means “to try,” and represents the audacity to “take on the challenge”. She has already proven she has what it takes, battling the world’s toughest oceans to claim 4th overall in the 2023–24 Global Solo Challenge. Now, it’s time to take on the next challenge.
