What Yachts do Global use?

1. STIMSON IRC 42 SPORT is the newest yacht in the Global Yacht Racing fleet. And one of only two currently in the country (as of July 08)

She has been designed with two goals in mind - to win races and to offer excellent handling. Designed by Christian Stimson, her clean lines and medium displacement are those of an agile racer, but her stability characteristics and good manners are highly suitable for training/charter activities with crews of mixed abilities. This balance enables the boat to be sailed confidently by virtual novices, whilst the attainable raw performance will reward the more experienced crews with results at the highest levels of competition giving sponsors valuable exposure in the yachting industry and media.

 

The 42 Sport is coded MCA Category 2 / ISAF Category 1 for 12 crew including skipper & mate.
