Class 40 - Rösti Sailing Team - the new Class 40 of Simon Koster/Valentin Gautier SUI

A month before the start to the Transat Jacques Vabre, Simon Koster SUI and Valentin Gautier SUI splashed their new Class 40 in La Trinité FRA, a new design pushing the envelope of the measurement rules, enabling a round-bow construction as successfully in use with Minis. The two Swiss expect a speed advantage especially on rear and abeam winds. ----- The news.
