Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Sigge Bjørn Mansåker is organizing a new 40-foot racing class in Palma, Mallorca, designed to consolidate various performance boats under a unified handicap system.0:02 The initiative targets boats such as the GP42, HH42, and Fast 40+ models, aiming to provide a competitive alternative to the high-budget TP52 circuit.14:07 While initial efforts utilized IRC ratings, the class has transitioned to ORC rules to better differentiate performance between older and newer designs.13:41 The project focuses on local regattas in Palma, such as Palma Vela and Copa del Rey, to minimize the logistical costs associated with shipping boats on cargo vessels.18:32 By establishing a stable, locally-based racing schedule, organizers hope to reduce team budgets and encourage participation from owners currently sailing in the Solent or elsewhere.19:33 Mansåker, a professional boat captain with experience on Wally 94s and other large yachts, intends to manage the class logistics, sponsorship, and measurement compliance while seeking opportunities to race within the fleet himself.5:48
