Description: Patrice Carpentier and Pierre Rolland, Sam Manuard, Thomas Seitz and Christian Bouroulec, all are working towards building the 40 Open feet. A concept born of the Mini milieu, these naval architects and builders have now put on paper the rules for a new class of boat inspired by the Mini 650 and Open 60 classes. The idea has caught on so fast that in the next Route du Rhum we may see more of these boats than the Open 50 class The Class 40 rule itself is a box rule based primarily on a minimum displacement, maximum length, draft, beam and sail area. Other limitations include ones on materials, appendage type, stability and ballast. The resulting designs can be adapted for single or double handed racing and also fully crewed.
