Van Gorkom Yacht Design enters the IMS grand prix circuit with a high performance racer, specifically tailored to a growing Level 40. This ahead-of-the-art racing design is guaranteed to be an extremely competitive yacht matching up well against existing mainstream IMS designs and is a viable alternative to the existing stable of IMS designers.

VGYD has employed the same philosophy of meticulous consideration to the sailing criteria of the boat as they did on their Mount Gay 30 design to produce a racing machine that will not be soon out-classed by the competition. Optimized to the IMS VPP, this powerful hull form is derived from VGYD's regatta proven canoe-body family, which is guaranteed to produce a race winning performance. 

The hull and deck is constructed of S-glass and Kevlar over a foam core and vacuumbagged in an epoxy resin. Carbon fiber uni-directional material is used in areas of high loading such as in the keel grid, chainplates, and in critical transverse framing.

The all carbon fractional rig will carry runners and checkstays. The deck layout, with optimized ergonomics, a through-the-boom mainsail sheeting system, and a 78 inch diameter carbon wheel, will greatly increase the efficiency of boat handling and crew dynamics.
