This design CD 2607 from Ceccarelli Yacht Design is the first design of my office for the smallest class of the series of the GP, the boat actually is in construction in Russia for the yard “Sailing centre, ltd.” to be produced in series.
The deliver of the first boat will be June it will be build female plug to build it in series with a very interesting price.
The yard has experience in this type of construction they already build other boats like Farr-42 IMS 600, S 25.
I think and I hope that the small class of the GP 26 could have the same development that had years ago the Quarter Ton Class in the IOR, a class where my design won few world championship at the time.
The possibility to race in real time without any allowance is amazing for the crew, and also for the designer working thinking only to do the fastest boat without any investigation in the loop of the rule like was in the IMS, is really interesting and amazing.
The cost and the possibility to be trailer able with a big car, it will give a possibility to develop very fast, and will be an alternative to many one design class existing on this dimension of boat actually in Europe.
The design CYD 2607 of the GP 26 is an all round boat, designed according to the actual GP 26 class, and it is the son of the research did with the CFD for the appendages of the IACC boats and the recent study for the GP 42 that I have in construction in Italy.
The bulb is a long torpedo of lead CNC machined designed with an extensive research with CFD to minimize the drag.
The only difference from the international GP 26 class, that I suggest for a modification next year, we increased with the request from the owner some cm. the height of the cabin roof to be compatible with the rule of the Russian offshore boats Open 800.
The construction of the GP 26 is in epoxy from SPS Technology and all in E-glass unidirectional and biaxial clothes with core of PVC Corecell with variable density and thickness.
The fin is build in CNC in steel welded and CNC machined to obtain a perfect shape, the rudder in carbon fibre from female plug in aluminium.
