The 40OF Team is proud to announce a strategic collaboration with Moore Brothers Company of Bristol, Rhode Island, who will represent the 40OF across the United States, Canada and the Caribbean while serving as the project's North American build and development partner.
Designed by Wilson/Marquinez Naval Architecture, the 40OF is a full-foiling offshore race yacht, developed to bring cutting-edge foiling technology into offshore sailing through an accessible and manageable platform. Building on the design DNA established through the successful 69F project, the 40OF represents the next step in high-performance offshore racing.
At 40 feet, the yacht combines performance, safety and accessibility in a way not previously seen in offshore foiling monohulls. Four distinct sailing modes: displacement, foil-assisted, stern-down foiling, and full-flight foiling from approximately 12 knots of wind speed, allow crews to explore the full potential of offshore foiling while retaining the ability to dock, moor and operate independently in conventional harbours and marinas.
Moore Brothers joins a growing international development team to bring the 40OF to market, combining expertise in yacht design, engineering and fabrication as well as marketing and commercial development.
The team includes:
-
- Nahuel Wilson and Laureano Marquinez - MW Naval Architecture and Yacht Design.
- Sailing Architect BV & Pablo Bottacchi - Development, Marketing & Sales.
- Pindar - Logistics Partner for the 40OF development and future class activities.
- Moore Brothers Company - North American Build & Development Partner and representative for the United States, Canada and Caribbean markets.
- Evolution Marine - South Africa, South America and Middle-East Build & Development Partner.
This partnership marks an important milestone as the project moves from development into market activation, engaging sailors, owners and innovators who share a passion for the future of performance sailing.
Nahuel Wilson & Laureano Marquinez, MW Naval Architecture, mention:
"The 40OF is about creating a new benchmark in offshore performance sailing. By joining forces with Moore Brothers, we strengthen our ability to deliver the yacht to owners throughout North America while combining world-class design, engineering and craftsmanship."
Moore Brothers Company Director and Vice President, Oliver Moore, said: "With strong roots in the marine industry, Moore Brothers is happy to support the application of high-performance concepts to new and different arenas within the world of sailing, this year with the launch of the 40OF."
