rc 44 yacht

44cup (RC44)

T he RC44 is a light displacement, high performance one-design racing yacht competing in the 44Cup, a five-stop international racing tour.

Co-designed by five-time America’s Cup winner Russell Coutts with naval architect Andrej Justin, the RC44 boats are strictly identical in terms of construction, shape of hull, appendages and weight/weight distribution, as well as a 50-50 split between amateurs and professionals in each eight-person crew.

With everything, from the keel to the tip of the mast, made entirely from carbon, and with a powerful sail plan, the RC44 is rapid downwind, commanding upwind and performs exceptionally in both light winds and heavier breezes.

The RC44’s innovative and technical design present an exciting new hybrid sailing challenge, with the crews expected to hike like a sports boat and grind as you would on a keelboat.

RC44 Concept High Performance Sailing Yacht

The RC44 sailing yacht was developed jointly by multiple New Zealand America’s Cup winner Russell Coutts and Slovenian yacht designer Andrej Justin. The letters RC stand for the initials of Russell Coutts and number 44 for the boat length of 44 feet (13.35 meters). The monohull boat is based on an outer hull with conventional displacement – without hydrofoils. However, due to the adjustable keel with a trim tab, the concept is designed to be highly competitive and very versatile (hybrid) sailing. The complex carbon construction provides a stiff but light structure with a low centre of gravity. This, with the generous sail areas, provides remarkable performance with good handling. The open cockpit also allows the boat to be sailed short-handed.

One design boat class for amateurs and professionals

The RC44 is a one design boat class with all the advantages based on these rules. Construction, hull shape, rigging and weight distribution are identical and strictly controlled. The sails are also strictly regulated. Together with the highly intelligent construction, which provides for easy transport in a so-called flatrack, the RC44 class allows for the participation in regattas without escalating costs.

The regulations of the 44Cup, the official RC44 racing series, also stipulate that at least two of the crew must be amateurs (as defined by the World Sailing Federation ISAF). This restriction gives teams with smaller budgets greater opportunities and makes it much easier to integrate young sailors. As a result, the RC44 boat class now enjoys a large following and is able to attract more and more amateurs as boat owners.

Lightweight construction and high-tech

The RC44 racing yacht is made entirely of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) and is particularly light and therefore fast. In addition to the hull, almost all add-on parts are also made of CFRP: Mast, spreaders, main boom, bowsprit, rudders, steering wheels and keel fin. Although an RC44 looks like a conventional yacht at first glance, it comes up with many innovations and a lot of know-how: The keel is adjustable. With a trim tab, the keel area can be reduced, which improves performance upwind, among other things, without sacrificing manoeuvrability. The deck layout also comes up with some innovations, among others the arrangement of the fittings was optimised in extensive tests with the match race crew of Russell Coutts. The geometry of the sails was designed in such a way that the boat also responds in light winds and performs excellently in stronger breezes to leeward and upwind.

The sum of these innovations makes the RC44 yacht a bit more complex to sail than other boats of comparable dimensions. But for regatta enthusiasts in particular, the well thought-out concepts open up countless possibilities to increase performance without subjecting the boat itself to individual optimisation – which ultimately makes it much easier to comply with the One Design regulations.

Efficient from bow to stern

With the RC44 concept, a boat class has been successfully established that reaches a reference level in terms of standards and performance and at the same time appeals to owners from the amateur camp as well. Thus, a decisive part of the RC44 concept is designed for manageable logistics: In addition to the bowsprit, the tail of the boat is also removable. This reduces the transport length to less than 40 feet. The mast also consists of two parts, so that the entire equipment including sails, rudder, keel, boom, mast and spare parts can be stored in a container and transported to any place in the world. The couplings and attachment constructions are well thought out so that assembly can be easily done in two days. Finally, all teams are supported by RC44 support to ensure that all boats are in optimum condition every time they go to the start line.

Since its inception in 2007, the RC44 Championship Tour has become one of the most important racing series on the international sailing scene. Over twelve years the class has become increasingly important, new venues have been added to the calendar and new teams have joined the fleet. In 2019, the racing series had grown so much that it was time for a revamp: the RC44 Championship Tour presented itself as the 44Cup. The success of the boat class and the race series underlines the quality of the concept: the 44Cup allows amateur owners to compete in regattas around the world, competing against some of the world’s best sailors. The 44 history reads like a Who’s Who of racing: from America’s Cup legends to Olympic champions, countless sailing greats have campaigned on RC44 yachts over the past 15 years.

Black Star Sailing at the 44Cup

Racing in the 44Cup offers Black Star Sailing the opportunity to expand its team with juniors while being competitive in an extremely attractive racing series. Black Star Sailing is the first team in the 44Cup line-up to sail under the Swiss flag. Furthermore, Black Star is currently the only campaign in the world that competes in RC44 and GC32 regattas simultaneously.

A challenge, not a spectacle: onboard the RC44s

• Helen Fretter
• July 15, 2016

Nearly a decade since its launch, the RC44 class is still going strong. What's the appeal?

The RC44 class is in the UK for the first time this weekend. Helen Fretter sailed onboard Artemis to discover what sets this owner-driven class apart

Setting out from the Land Rover BAR base in Portsmouth to meet the RC44 class requires a slight recalibration. Compared to the AC’s futuristic flying catamarans, the RC44s, with their slim hulls and sloped transoms, are decidedly modern classic. The design, so reminiscent of the IACC lines, turns 10 next season.

There are other reminders that not only are we monohull racing, but we’re doing things a little differently here. We take a RIB ride out to the sailing area, east of the Forts. Despite plenty of public interest in the boats moored in Gunwharf Quays marina, this is not a venue chosen for its spectator venue. When the wind shifts – and shift it does on the first day of fleet racing, by over 60 degrees at times – the course setters re-lay, and re-lay, and re-lay in pursuit of a true windward-leeward course. No television schedules to adhere to here, and the guests are watching from RIBs, not a grandstand. Such things do not concern the RC44 fleet, which is all about a purer racing experience.

Instead the appeal of the class is one based on participation, not spectacle. As with any multinational sailing series – which the RC44 class is, with events in Bermuda, Spain, Portugal and Malta this season – a serious level of funding is required to take part. Some owners use their boat to promote a corporation – Bronenosec’s Gazprom branding, for example – others teams are privately funded, but the RC44 class is designed to appeal to owners because of what it offers them, rather than their company’s marketing departments.

This weekend’s visit to Portsmouth is a first for the fleet, and another indicator that the appeal of the RC44 is not always about the obvious Mediterranean sunshine or predictably glamorous locations. Nor is it about going the fastest or putting on the biggest show. Instead the RC44 class is all about the challenge.

For the first day of fleet racing in Portsmouth, the challenge was real. Some of the best tacticians in the world were scratching their heads as the Solent dealt an uncharacteristic day in which the conventional south-westerly sea breeze failed to dominate, and instead huge shifts, gunmetal grey clouds bringing divergent breezes, and patches of fading pressure streaked across the course to keep both race committee and competitors on their toes.

I joined Artemis Racing, skippered by Iain Percy, who unusually was competing at Portsmouth both this week and next, in for the America’s Cup World Series. As on the AC45, Percy calls tactics, although the wheel was taken by Sara Gunderson, who works for the Swedish America’s Cup team on logistics and will take the helm when owner Torben Tornqvist can’t attend, thereby maintaining the amateur driver rule, an arrangement she admits is a nice perk of the job.

The ninth man position on board the RC44 offers a great view of the afterguard dynamic as guests sit inboard, aft of the tactician and helmsman on the transom. The transom of the RC44s can be detached in order to allow the boats to fit inside a 40ft container, and the join between the two hull sections flexes slightly disconcertingly during racing.

The aft position also gives a very up close and personal view of just how nip and tuck the competition is – especially during crosses and ducks. Bows loom up at alarming speed, only to whirl away again. The RC44 is definitely one of the more balletic classes when it comes to prestart positioning, which reflects the match racing component of each event on the Championship tour.

Once underway heel angle becomes critical – the crew drop-hiking over the side to press the RC44 level upwind. Former Star world champion Iain Percy makes the position look natural, even comfortable, although it is clearly anything but. It is not all about grunt, however. The RC44s are tweaky and responsive, with keel trim tabs, adjustable headstay ram and backstays. Keel trim tab and rudder angle read outs show on the mainsheet winch base, while Percy jumps on the main pedestal to add a second pair of hands during the hoists, drops and gybes of the 170sqm gennaker.

“We wanted to include a degree of complexity so an owner can experience what a top-end race boat is like to sail, and it delivers on that,” designer Russell Coutts states on the class website.

There’s an extra frisson to mark roundings as the RC44s seem particularly susceptible to hooking marks, with a 2.9m fin and bulb keel. So much so in fact that extra penalties had been introduced for this series for boats which hook marks or slash mark anchoring lines to keep racing.

For most teams however it’s the Solent, which is providing the main challenge. On board Artemis Percy’s calls echo the changing conditions, wondering aloud if an early gybe on the first downwind was the wrong decision, but despite some fluctuations in fortunes we finish third.

Ed Baird, who is tactician on Team Nika, guided his team to the best results of the day described the day as, “Scary – a lot of big decisions to make out there and a lot of potential to make everything go bad!”

However, he adds.“There is a lot of value to going to a new place and learning something new. You always remember those days when it was hard, but you figured it out.

The former America’s Cup winner and his crew were buzzing on the dock, having clearly relished getting stuck into some high-level, truly tricksy sailing. The appeal for RC44 owners is similar, a chance for driven and competitive individuals to really pit themselves against the best in the world, backed up by a squad of elite level, uber-experienced crew.

Briton John Bassadone, who owns Peninsular Petroleum Sailing Team, echoed the sentiments of the day. “It was frustrating and pretty tough. One minute you’re smart and the next you’re a complete idiot. But I loved it.”

He explained the appeal of the RC44s. “These boats are, I think, among the top classes in the world in terms of fleet racing. It’s such a fun boat to sail.

“It’s fun, it’s fast. Downwind when you have 15-20 knots it’s fast, but it’s easy to control as well. It’s quite radical. It’s hard in terms of stiff competition, but in terms of the actual steering of the boat for somebody who maybe isn’t very experienced like myself, you can get away with it!

“The other thing is budget, compared to other classes it’s very, very reasonable. Much, much less than a TP52, and probably more fun to sail. It’s because the boat itself isn’t very expensive to buy new, we restrict the number of new sails you can have, everybody’s very conscious of it.”

RC44 Class still going strong with new 44Cup season

• Advertorial
• Inshore Racing

Classes of raceboat tend to die prematurely once they reach a certain age. Ironically this seems to have less to do with the boat and more the marketing or having the correct driving force behind it. Witness Peter Morton miraculously breathing life back into the Quarter Ton class, a boat on which many sailors cut their teeth – and can now afford to own. Compare that with the premature demise of the much-loved Mumm/Farr 30.

Attempting to ensure it is one of the success stories is the newly rechristened 44Cup, formerly the RC44 Championship Tour. This year it starts its 13th season with staunchly faithful owners resolute in prolonging the life of their beloved circuit.

Those involved are experienced, level-headed individuals who have been through many classes before finding their home with RC44s. They include Artemis Racing’s Torbjörn Törnqvist, a former Audi MedCup TP52 champion and the 44Cup’s reigning champion Nico Poons, who previously campaigned a Farr 40 and a Swan 45.

Aleph Racing’s Hugues Lepic also came from Farr 40s, while Peninsula Petroleum’s John Bassadone went through a J/109 and a GP42 before arriving at the 44Cup, where he has remained for nine years. Then there’s Vladimir Prosikhin, enticed into the circuit while having a cruising boat built, who in 2018 became RC44 World Champion for a third time. Others like Team Aqua’s Chris Bake and Team CEEREF’s Igor Lah have stayed with the class since its outset.

All recognise the value the 44Cup provides, enabling them to compete at the highest level with crew who are likely to be racing a Maxi 72 or TP52 the following week. The tacticians who guide them around the racetrack, coaching them en route, are all America’s Cup or 52 Super Series calibre, or have Olympic medals. 2019 will see regular 44Cup tacticians like Dean Barker, Ray Davies and Vasco Vascotto re-joining their America’s Cup teams, replaced by Tom Slingsby and Ed Baird.

Thanks to the RC44 being a hitech, but (by today’s standards) a relatively low-cost one-design, the price of racing one is a fraction of the cost of a box rule boat. Relatively, the expense of buying a boat is negligible – a new one is around €450,000; a good second-hand example is €250,000 complete, including a flat rack container and a 20ft workshop/storage container.

Depreciation is slight as even old boats are competitive: Teams Nika and CEEREF for example have been racing since the class’s start, yet the former was 2018 World Champion; the latter won the 44Cups in 2016 and 2017.

Running costs are typically €450,000 to €700,000 a year as there are few opportunities for teams to outspend each other and there is no arms race. Sail inventory comprises a main, three jibs and two spinnakers, plus a one-design class gennaker. Sail buttons are limited to six per year, with an extra permitted for teams completing a whole season. Annual sail budget is around €120,000.

Beyond this are salaries for crew and shore crew and extras such as coaching. Among the eight crew, up to four can be World Sailing Group 3 pros. Few shore crew are required – if a boat is damaged, it is fixed by the 44Cup’s own boatbuilders. If things go badly wrong, structural integrity should remain intact as the two most vulnerable areas, the bow and stern, are removable.

Transport is especially cost-effective. The RC44 was conceived as being not just a great 40+ft raceboat, but one that fits into its own 40ft flat rack container. Shipping this way is around one third to a quarter of the cost of deck cargo and makes storing the boats easy, with reduced risk of damage.

The RC44’s bespoke container is a design masterpiece. It allows the boat to be assembled and stowed away without a crane or forklift. Four vertical beams plug into the flat rack, enabling the hull to be elevated by four metres. The keel fin is dropped onto the bulb and the hull onto the fin. The carbon fibre foil weighs just 120kg and can be positioned by three people.

Shipping is also zero stress as it is all handled by the class association. One of the few stresses for crew is staying within the class’s maximum combined weight of 680kg.

Is the boat is outdated? Not at all. The RC44 was drawn by Andrej Justin and is built by Pauger Carbon Composites in Hungary, but the boat and circuit were conceived by Russell Coutts in his most creative period, “between” AC campaigns. Coutts, one of the greatest sailors of all time, also subsequently developed the boat – that’s like Lewis Hamilton or Sebastian Vettel creating and then tweaking your racing car.

The RC44 may be a one-design, but it should be thought of as Coutts’ best expression of a fully teched-up 40ft+ grand prix raceboat (albeit one that fits into a container and is exclusively amateur owner-driven with an experienced crew) that has been “production-ised”. It has not been dumbed down nor built to a price as one-designs often are. It may not be the ultimate state of the art, but it is fully carbon fibre and 90 per cent there.

Others have tried to better the RC44’s core features but over the last 13 years none have come close. It was for this reason that the RC44 owners recently voted not to change the boat – there was nothing better out there and certainly nothing as cost-effective.

In contrast with more modern designs the RC44 is unfashionably slender, with just 2.75m beam compared to the Melges 40’s 3.5m. However, this enables the boat to fit in its container. While fat, powerful hulls are the trend, there are other ways to gain righting moment – like the RC44’s deeper keel and bigger, CNC-machined bulb.

Skinny hulls also have low drag, making them particularly effective upwind. The RC44 is assisted by a trim tab, allowing its foil to have a smaller section with lower drag, eliminating leeway and improving pointing. Similarly, the bowsprit articulates, enabling the boat to sail deeper.

Artemis Racing tactician Andy Horton observes, ‘the narrowness of the RC44 and the trim tab let you point well upwind (some of the wider boats just won’t do that) and the foils are more efficient downwind.’

It has been observed that the RC44 has similar lines to a V5 America’s Cup Class boat, but there any comparison ends. The RC44 has an entirely different length: displacement ratio, with a light displacement of 3.5 tonnes (compared with 3.8 for the Fast 40+) and around 2.2 tonnes in the bulb. Its 63 per cent ballast ratio is high compared with a modern yacht (34 per cent for a Melges 40, albeit with a canting keel), but the boat remains light enough to plane in just 15 knots.

As Coutts intended with his subsequent AC catamarans, the RC44 can sail well in the broadest wind range. This recognises owners’ time being ultra-precious by minimising days lost due to unfavourable weather. The RC44 is genuinely able to race well in five knots and is a blast in 25, when the boat sails downwind at roughly wind speed.

Team Nika’s Vladimir Prosikhin shares his view: ‘The RC44 is unique, a completely extreme boat, no compromise, nothing inside, very light, very strong, very narrow. In less than five knots, it makes six knots because it is a narrow, very slippery boat. When it blows, the boat does 22 knots and planes easily. It can be difficult to control, a bit like riding an Arabian racehorse! But that is what a good rider wants. The racing is totally fair. Ashore the hospitality and support is unbeatable. And I’ve made some close friends.’

The RC44 class is managed by Bertrand Favre, who also runs the D35/TF35 catamaran classes, but the owners call the shots. Two seasons ago, they shortened events by a day, dispensing with match racing. They also reduced course lengths (now 0.8-1.2 miles), enabling 10-14 races to be sailed over each event’s four days, further maximising their “bang for buck”.

From the outset, the class has had top-level race management run by Peter Reggio and Marco Mercuriali. RC44 class events are “family friendly”, with a VIP entertainment area and a hospitality boat from which friends, family and sponsors can watch the racing. A guest sailing programme permits guests to experience the thrill of sailing an RC44 when conditions allow.

As an owner-driver boat the RC44 is second to none. It is even suitable for owners with little experience. With a good crew and a top tactician on board, it is possible to be winning races within a season.

RC44: World’s coolest yachts

Published on January 5th, 2024 by Editor -->

Yachting World has been asking top sailors and marine industry gurus to choose the coolest and most innovative yachts of our times, and Cameron Appleton nominated the RC44. Here’s the report :

“For sure one of the coolest yachts is none other than the RC44 class created by Russell Coutts,” nominates Cameron Appleton.

A strict one-design, the RC44 was co-designed by five-time America’s Cup winner Coutts with naval architect Andrej Justin and bears more than a passing resemblance to the IACC class of old.

It’s a full carbon build with a square top main and trim tab, producing high performance and demanding a considerable level of skill from its owner-helmsmen. The RC44 fits into a 40-foot container and boats compete on a multi-event tour.

“Seventeen years in with Team Aqua and it still brings such tight racing across the widest of wind ranges,” says Appleton. “The boat tests the teams and challenges them to performance in a class that’s always exciting and keeps you wanting more.

“The boats have that balance of needing each crew member throughout the race to be successful, and they reward you in every condition by getting racing off in conditions most classes just wouldn’t attempt to run races in.”

RC44 stats rating Top speed: 24 knots LOA: 13.35m/43ft8in Launched: 2007 Berths: 0 Price (NEW): €1m Adrenalin factor: 70%

Pauger is the sole builder of all the 29 pieces of RC 44 full carbon racer. We were involved in the development of the RC 44 too, elaborating on many custom solutions with Sir Russel Coutts. The yacht is equipped with carbon kiel fin with trim tab.

The production started in 2008. The variation in the weight is within +/- 5 kg among all the 29 hulls and #30 build in ongoing.

The majority of RC44s are built with a carbon outlook – an achievement in itself – ensuring the perfect conformity to the one-design specifications. Furthermore, as the boat is built with infusion technology (one-shot infusion developed with SP Systems) a very high standard of preparation and accuracy is constant expectation.

The very close relationship and teamwork between designer and builder resulted in an outstanding performance with great efficiency. Only a small number of prototype boats has been built to give a fine-tuned racing yacht.

Countdown to the 44Cup Worlds Brunnen

• PRESS CENTRE
• JOIN THE 44CUP

MEET THE TEAMS

From America’s Cup legends to international business leaders and Olympic champions meet the teams of the 44Cup.

Following the recent statement published by World Sailing, the RC44 Class Association would like to confirm that we will be following the World Sailing guidance and regulations.

Until further notice Russian and Belarusian sailors, shore crew and official will not compete in the 44Cup.

Although this is hard for the teams, our friends and everyone involved it is sadly unavoidable given the situation.
