Catch up with the amazing RC Fourty Fours racing for the first time in Portsmouth. Five-time America's Cup winner Coutts conceived the design of the light-displacement, high-performance one-design RC44 with naval architect Andrej Justin in 2005. The concept and the design features of the RC44 are dedicated to the amateur helmsmen competing in fleet racing sailing events. The Class is unique in that the crew is made up of 50% amateur and 50% professionals, with an amateur driver required for fleet racing.
