Rarely has there been a more manufactured class that seems to exist with almost no real reason for it to exist at all. Here’s a bit of the RC 44 delusional PR…
The RC 44 Class is unlike any 40 foot sailing yacht ever designed, and the reason for that is simple. She is a high performance one design yacht created for top level racing in international regattas. If one was to compare this concept to racing cars, then we would be talking about the F1, NASCAR or similar.
Yes, the Formula 1 of yacht racing is coming to Malta, who will play host to stage the first leg of the 2015 championship. In fact the fleet of these extreme sailing machines are already here, most of which are undergoing major and minor refitting in the ship and yacht yards of the Maltese Islands.
