While the AC75s of the 36th America\u2019s Cup remain shrink-wrapped and idle while the Challenger of Record and Defender draft their protocol, the engineers and designers at Italy\u2019s Persico Marine have been advancing their own Cup afterparty in the form of a 40-foot version of the flying beasts of Auckland, and in late July announced plans to push ahead with a production run of what will be called the Persico Fly40 One Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cPersico Marine has thus opened a new market segment targeted at owners, for whom the \u2018new normal\u2019 will be a foiler with canting arms \u2013 a high-performance, one-design-class monohull conceived for an upwind start, tacking duels and every aspect of the traditional regatta, but at three times the windspeed,\u201d the builder states in its announcement in early August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The Persico Fly40 is conceived as a 38-foot, 3,527-pound foiling vessel with a designed takeoff in 7 knots of true windspeed. Designed for a crew of 5, Persico says, \u201cthe Fly40 can be trailered and moved easily.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the last five months we have dedicated ourselves to achieving an impressive goal: transferring our research and development of the 36th America\u2019s Cup to the market,\u201d says Marcello Persico, president Persico Marine. \u201cIn an instant, on the day we saw our AC75s sail for the first time, all our previous accomplishments up to that moment became \u2018the past.\u2019 Following the revolutionary innovations of the last edition of the America\u2019s Cup and thanks to the performance of the AC75, a visionary and radical foiling craft, we are witnessing a real change in paradigm: the time is right to raise the regatta field to a new dimension that will allow everyone to experience fly-foiling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Structural engineering is provided by Pure Design & Engineering from New Zealand, which also worked with Emirates Team New Zealand; naval architecture and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is led by Caponnetto Hueber, a collaborator with Luna Rossa, the 36th America\u2019s Cup Challenger of Record. To help lead the project, they\u2019ve also tapped Luna Rossa co-helmsman Francesco Bruni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy presenting an advanced 40-foot foiler today, we are in a position to play a central role in revolutionizing the market,\u201d Bruni says. \u201cI am sure this project will have great success and am very happy to be part of it. This is a promising moment for the sailing world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

As with the Persico 69F circuit currently underway, Persico says the Fly40 One Design class will feature an owner-driver styled circuit with Persico providing support and services.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
