GC 32

The winds of change are blowing, and new boats are being developed as a result. Naval architects and skippers are buzzing with excitement. Multihulls and foils are the new watchwords. The goal is simple:  to go faster, more efficiently.

The speed and responsiveness of these boats is reinventing competitive sailing—to the delight of spectators, who will be treated to exhilarating races that will no doubt deliver unexpected surprises.

The GC32, a 32-foot catamaran (just under 10 meters), is able to “go airborne” at wind speeds of 8 knots (Force 2). Maneuvering this boat is a very technical and physical affair, requiring greater focus and organization on the part of the crew. GC32 competitions are action-packed!
