The Extreme 40 was created with two things in mind, action and
adrenline!
The gap was seen in the Grand Prix sailing market for a
fast, inshore catamaran,
which would be not only exciting to watch but
cost effective to run. Mitch Booth
and Herbert Dercksen created the
concept of the Extreme 40 with Yves Loday
designing the racing machine.
The concept The concept is to build an easy to sail, light weight, fully
carbon fibre racing weapon.
The boat will fit inside a normal 40ft
shipping container on its own road trailer. The
assembly is quick
(around 6 hours for 3 crew) and then just add water for instant fun.
The crew normally consists of 4 sailors + 1 non participant, this is to
allow a sponsor,
owner, media person or guest to participate in one of
the most exciting forms of sailing ever.
35 kts Speed The boat is estimated to reach speeds of 35 knots on flat water in
around 20-25 knots wind.
They will also fly a hull in as little as 8
knots giving the best visual impact in all round wind conditions.
High quality construction The construction is of the highest quality currently available.
It is built entirely in an Autoclave from prepreg carbon fibre with a
nomex core. The capabilities of the
boat are quite wide considering its
size and speed. The boat is not intended to cross Ocean's although it
is easily strong enough to take on the toughest
conditions involved in
coastal and inshore races.
A new generation The Extreme 40 is the new generation of mid size sports catamarans sure to set the standard for exciting inshore sailing.
