Team owners at the helm, professionals making tactical decisions, and a target race time of 40 minutes ensure an intense combination full of action and boats that are often separated by just seconds. The fleet races take place on a windward-leeward course, with a leg at the windward mark and a gate at the leeward mark. According to World Sailing&#8217;s standard low points system, the first boat over the finish line receives one point, the second boat two, and so on. Thus, the team with the lowest number of points at the end of the event wins.<\/p>\n<p>An additional option offered by the 44Cup is to introduce a long-distance race, which can often last two to three hours. Teams may face special challenges when asked to circumnavigate nearby islands or landmarks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lt22w66w-7654fcededb36ae3415a8873b20053ca\">\n.flex_column.av-lt22w66w-7654fcededb36ae3415a8873b20053ca{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nheight:auto;\nmin-height:400px;\nbackground:url(https:\/\/www.44cupcaleromarinas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/44cupcaleromarinas_08.jpg) 0% 0% no-repeat scroll ;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-lt22w66w-7654fcededb36ae3415a8873b20053ca av_one_half  avia-builder-el-26  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding avia-full-stretch  '     ><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-bnihq-d639adb0a89e918378b72809f9658d82\">\n.flex_column.av-bnihq-d639adb0a89e918378b72809f9658d82{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-bnihq-d639adb0a89e918378b72809f9658d82 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-27  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_hr  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lt22zmnl-a54e2e06bec301add8f37e3781411b33\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lt22zmnl-a54e2e06bec301add8f37e3781411b33 .avia_textblock{\ncolor:#d8d8d8;\ntext-align:justify;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lt22zmnl-a54e2e06bec301add8f37e3781411b33 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The overall winner of the 44 Cup is determined as follows: From the total of five events, the four best races of each team are selected and summed.

toe&#8221; made entirely of carbon fibre and equipped with a highly powerful sail plan. While the RC44 is fast and controlled downwind, it also performs exceptionally well in light winds as well as stronger breezes. Thanks to the innovative and technical design of the RC44, the team can expect to sail like on a sports boat while putting in the effort and dedication characteristic of a keelboat, all due to the hybrid navigation challenge that, of course, also brings excitement and fun.<\/p>\n<p>IN LOGISTICAL TERMS&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned earlier, the logistics are almost unbelievably impressive. The goal was to make logistics easier for owners and minimize costs. A simple-to-own boat was sought that would be competitive in summer and easy to store in winter. Thanks to innovative solutions, this is now possible: the transport length of the boats is kept at 40 feet, with the rear end and keel attachment being removable, and the mast transported in two parts. This allows all the equipment to be stored in a flat container and transported anywhere in the world. As if this weren&#8217;t enough innovation, the RC44 class fits into a custom-made container that also serves as a cradle once it arrives at a regatta venue. Inside the container are compartments that allow storage of all equipment: sails, rudders, keels, booms, masts, and spare parts. The keel bulb is transported in position under the hull. An RC44 only needs a day to be reassembled when it arrives at its next port. Then there&#8217;s the expert technical support team of the 44Cup, which works to ensure that each boat is in optimal racing condition every time it ventures onto the starting line and can even get a boat back in the water just an hour after a serious collision.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_three_fifth-e671fab5613f317ef63eb9ab712c64a3\">\n.flex_column.av-av_three_fifth-e671fab5613f317ef63eb9ab712c64a3{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_three_fifth-e671fab5613f317ef63eb9ab712c64a3 av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-35  el_after_av_two_fifth  el_before_av_hr  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lt2c1amh-b541dc737a66bff911031ad8942f916c\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-lt2c1amh-b541dc737a66bff911031ad8942f916c{\npadding-bottom:50px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-lt2c1amh-b541dc737a66bff911031ad8942f916c .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-lt2c1amh-b541dc737a66bff911031ad8942f916c .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-lt2c1amh-b541dc737a66bff911031ad8942f916c av-special-heading-h3  avia-builder-el-36  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Boat Dimensions<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lt2bmkxm-57768534dfaa0149804ce9e3e7a24683\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lt2bmkxm-57768534dfaa0149804ce9e3e7a24683 .avia_textblock{\ntext-align:justify;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lt2bmkxm-57768534dfaa0149804ce9e3e7a24683 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3><strong>Overall Length (LOA):<\/strong><br \/>\n13.35 m \/ 43.8 feet<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Maximum Beam (Bmax):<\/strong><br \/>\n2.75 m \/ 9 feet<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Draft:<br \/>\n<\/strong>2.90 m \/ 9.5 feet<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Displacement:<\/strong><br \/>\n3560 kg \/ 7850 pounds<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Keel:<\/strong><br \/>\n2200 kg \/ 4850 pounds<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Crew:<\/strong><br \/>\n680 kg<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Engine:<\/strong><br \/>\n20 HP diesel with retractable transmission<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Sail Dimensions:<\/strong><br \/>\nG-3: 39 m\u00b2 \/ 517 square feet G-1: 60 m\u00b2 \/ 646 square feet<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Mainsail:<\/strong><br \/>\n70 m\u00b2 \/ 753 square feet Gennaker and: 170 m\u00b2 \/ 1722 square feet Gennaker: 150 m\u00b2 \/ 1399 square feet<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='hr av-lt2bzdai-5932ef953d474242d768206e6ef5bf04 hr-default  avia-builder-el-38  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lt2byrrk-15d9987bde13f52171412b92050bbe45\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lt2byrrk-15d9987bde13f52171412b92050bbe45 .avia_textblock{\ntext-align:justify;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lt2byrrk-15d9987bde13f52171412b92050bbe45 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Concept: A lightweight displacement racing yacht designed to be fast downwind and powerful upwind.

The core material is 5-20 mm and 75 to 200 kg\/m3. The internal structure is a double cross frame designed to support all keel, mast, and shroud loads, minimizing stress and deformation of the hull and deck. It is constructed using epoxy resin and exclusively unidirectional and biaxial carbon fabrics, while woven twill carbon fabric is used again to provide a smooth finish on all visible surfaces. Female moulds are built for the hull, deck liner, and spoiler to extremely high standards from CNC-machined plugs, ensuring minimal construction tolerances. All composite parts are built to SPSystem specifications, vacuum bagged, and post-cured in an oven. Keel and Bulb: The keel is constructed from pre-impregnated carbon material in post-cured carbon moulds at high temperature and pressure in an autoclave. A weed cutter is installed on the leading edge of the keel. The trim tab is constructed of carbon with RTM technology. The lead-antimony bulb is cast in a CNC-machined steel mould for high precision and levelled with an epoxy compound.<\/p>\n<p>Rudder and Steering System: The rudder and conical rectangular section rudder stock are a one-piece construction in carbon with RTM technology in a high precision female mould. The rudder stock structure is optimized by FEM and sized according to ABS loads for speeds over 26 knots. The steering quadrant, steering pedestals, and wheels are designed and built exclusively in carbon. Oversized self-aligning Jefa bearings, chain-driven steering actuators, reliable Vectran cable pulleys ensure extremely precise performance with low maintenance. The result is a well-balanced boat that handles with two fingers even when surfing at high speeds.<\/p>\n<p>General: Flush deck, spacious racing cockpit with two steering wheels, primary and mainsheet winches powered by pedestals, recessed jib tracks and winches, ergonomic side decks and steering position, retractable and pivotable bowsprit<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div  class='hr av-lt23ymqq-983a946364a07d3a6e4852228952d45e hr-default  avia-builder-el-40  el_after_av_three_fifth  el_before_av_one_full '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_full-068220c8262444be99a83ad265bdcedb\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_full-068220c8262444be99a83ad265bdcedb{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-068220c8262444be99a83ad265bdcedb av_one_full  avia-builder-el-41  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lt23l17y-7e90ea1bb64fe0c7416e7af259592953\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lt23l17y-7e90ea1bb64fe0c7416e7af259592953 .avia_textblock{\ntext-align:justify;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lt23l17y-7e90ea1bb64fe0c7416e7af259592953 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>RAILING: Custom carbon railing is placed from the bow to the mast.<\/p>\n<p>WINCHES (HARKEN): Mainsheet: 2x B40.2 STA &#8211; Primary: 2x B530 TCR UD pedestal-driven &#8211; Main: 1x B55.3STR pedestal-driven<\/p>\n<p>DECK HARDWARE (HARKEN): Jib system: mid-range (4:1 purchase) &#8211; Main system: big boat (2:1 mainsheet, 4:1 purchase). The deck hardware is oversized to provide low maintenance. All control lines, mainsheet, backstays, and gennaker retrieval system are led below deck to keep it as clean as possible. Hardware design was optimized in extensive sailing trials with Russell Coutts&#8217; match racing crew.<\/p>\n<p>HATCHES: The foredeck hatch is AC-shaped, carbon deck has quick-release fittings, edges are rounded for easy gennaker retrieval operation. The engine inspection hatch in the cockpit is equipped with a carbon cover with quick-release fittings.<\/p>\n<p>MAST AND RIGGING: Mast shape has a variable section, specially designed for this boat, to enhance mast-sail aerodynamic interaction. The mast is produced in two segments for transportation reasons, the joint is at the second set of shrouds and secured with titanium bolts and titanium backing plates. The rig is fractional with three swept-back shrouds. The forestay rigging is continuous PBO with tensioner below deck, to save weight, reduce wind resistance, and provide a clean visual appearance. The boom and retractable pivoting bowsprit are also made of carbon. Race backstays are non-structural. PBO forestay has a hydraulic tensioner and is equipped with a standard head. Race rigging is Spectra.<\/p>\n<p>ENGINE: The 20HP Volvo diesel engine is equipped with a specially developed retractable transmission system. The compact hydraulic transmission moves up and down with two electro-hydraulic cylinders with remote controls at the helm position.<\/p>\n<p>PLUMBING: A hand-operated bilge pump from the cockpit and an automatic electric bilge pump are installed as standard.<\/p>\n<p>ELECTRONICS: A comprehensive set of B&amp;G Hercules2000 navigation instruments with mast unit, GPS, electronic compass, speed, and depth transducers, trimming tab angle and helm angle transducer, a multi-display on the coffee grinder pedestal (for helm angles and trimming tab angles), and up to five maxi 20\/20 displays installed on a carbon bracket on the mast. Carbon construction provides a rigid yet lightweight structure with a low centre of gravity. Sail area is very generous, and the open cockpit allows the boat to be raced with a reduced crew.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_5'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-1105'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1105","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.44cupcaleromarinas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.44cupcaleromarinas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.44cupcaleromarinas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.44cupcaleromarinas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.44cupcaleromarinas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1105"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.44cupcaleromarinas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1105\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1175,"href":"https:\/\/www.44cupcaleromarinas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1105\/revisions\/1175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.44cupcaleromarinas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
