Many winning projects
One of the design team’s major projects was its collaboration with the Emirates Team New Zealand design team on the AC72, for the 34th edition of the America’s Cup. Among its other projects, there are several Open 60s and Class40, designed for solo racing. Whether it’s for a 100 foot monohull, a Mini 6.50, a 50 footer or dinghy, the attention paid to the design is unchanged.
