New Boats Table
in association with the Spinlock Special Projects Team Now on to Mark V! With two One Ton Cup wins under the belt Shaun Carkeek is ready for the next one…
Following the 2017 One Ton Cup and Fast40+ titles, our goal in 2017 was to continue the winning performances and work on developing our tools in order to increase our boats’ deltas vs the Fast40+ fleet. During the winter all our designs went through varying degrees of modification which proved successful this season. The upgrades were mostly based on an ongoing R&D programme, onboard data analysis, team feedback and lessons learnt over the previous season. Listening to our clients’ needs is a fundamental part of our process.
We’re pleased to have achieved uniform results with each client, albeit through different paths. Results tell the story and the Carkeek boats had a fantastic run again this year, winning 20 of 30 Fast40 races, plus four of the five rounds with Girls on Film 2 defending the One Ton Cup in emphatic style. Sisterships, Stewart Whitehead’s Rebellion and Bas de Voogd’s Hitchiker, finished 2nd and 3rd. Peter Morton’s 2017 Girls on Film 2(GoF 1is now Hitchiker) under-

I’m confident will continue to set the standard in the fleet. Our MkV design commenced with a blank sheet of paper to allow

maximum creativity. Simplification through integrated elegant design and engineering solutions has been our primary goal, ultimately reducing the number of parts, weight and improving efficiency. With regards to the naval architecture, this is actually our first pure
Fast40+, as our previous 40s were designed before the class rule was finalised. This allowed new freedom to introduce ideas into the hull shape, mode and set-up for relevant course types. However, our multidimensional optimisation process was referenced to both the Fast40 and IRC rules to allow a wide range of competitiveness. Systems engineering is a strongpoint and a degree of performance
improvement will flow from the design team’s attention to detail, particularly with regards to innovative engineering, systems and detail- ing where weight reduction and improving stiffness/strength are key. For our fifth-generation design we have also introduced our new
lightweight hybrid electric propulsion unit – designed in-house and now commercially available through our office. We look forward to seeing the new boats take shape! Shaun Carkeek, Carkeek Design Partners

Fifth-generation Max-RM Class40 from a new yard. Second boat well underway The Carkeek Fast40+ Mk3 followed the family tradition by winning the 2017 championship Development of Teasing Machine. Boat no1 quickly impressed in the Middle Sea Race (3rd) Quite aggressive design approach. Now with OD foils, a growing fleet that deserves attention Alegre/Longitud Cero; Azzurra/King Marine; Luna Rossa/Persico; Onda/King; Phoenix/Persico Quantum/Composite Builders; Sled/Core Composites Platoon/Premier Yachts; Provezza/Persico
A possible run of yet another lightweight and fast luxury cat. Lift foils and daggerboards
Based on Finot-Conq’s Imoca 60 work, very purposeful carbon/Nomex 53-footer heavily race-influenced but designed for long-range cruising with a double-handed crew. The foils are all retractable to maximise shoal access
Jérémie Beyou gets a new sponsor and his first brand new Imoca 60… He earned it Now in the Hugo Boss new boat pipeline but who will get the current boat? Whizzy IRC-targeted racer-cruiser. Looks like a mini-Cannonball Very light (17-tonne) all-carbon double una-rig cruiser-racer! The design R&D is almost finished for the new Bella Mente Contemporary performance cruiser, hopes of series production? There are also a 96 and a 70 on the drawing board. MSY is on a roll Smaller Wally is aggressively styled and reflects the latest Maxi72s
The real prize for Vendée Globe winner Armel Le Cléac’h – getting it right before launch The biggest yet from Persico. Very light at 171 tonnes. Hybrid power for ‘silent running…’
One of no fewer than seven new TP52s from the Botín studio, the latest Quantum programme will run alongside the New York Yacht Club America’s Cup challenge – with plenty of crossover in crew and technical development
