Our most recent Class40, Concise8, was developed in 2012 following the teams success on the circuit and their need to remain competitive in the ever evolving class. Project managed by Ned Collier Wakefield, the team set out to develop a state of the art racing machine. The concept was to use techniques developed during Americas cup, IMOCA 60 and Volvo Ocean Race campaigns albeit at a more affordable cost. McConaghy Boats in China produced the tooling and built Concise 8, the first boat of what is planned as a production run.
