The boat is a model Transpac 52 (TP52) is a class of yachts used for racing competitions; was built in 2008 and design of the Naval Architect Rolf Vrolijk. His boats since 1980 were victorious in Admiral's Cup, in the America's Cup he designed all the boats of the Alinghi Team and lastly with the Transpac TP52 boats with which he gathered endless successes thanks also to ours.
The shipyard that made the Carbon Lab boat is Italian, the owner Scarpone Albino who since 2000 joined the short team of Prada America's Cup as a boat builder.
The boat is very fast on the beard having reached a speed of 31 knots, in the windward sailing we have tested the ability to tighten a lot up to 18 °, this makes it a true F1 of the seas.
Great contribution to the speed of the boat was given by the adoption of special race paints.
The boat as a base is located in the Tourist Port of Giulianova (TE) in Abruzzo, where we are hosted by the Port Authority.
