This superb Iain Murray designed state of the art grand prix racing machine will fully engage its crew in all conditions, involving the closest racing and terrific performance. Selected as the 'middle boat' for the 1999 Admiral's Cup, the Sydney 40 has been developed for the role of state-of-the-art offshore racing yacht, and supercharged one-design.

Versatility is a key feature of the Sydney 40 and in its latest configuration; the Sydney 40-T won the 2001 Transpac Race.

To weather, these yachts benefit from over-lapping genoas and large mainsail areas and downwind they have massive masthead spinnakers which can power them along at speeds in excess of 15-knots. Add it all together; you have a true, serious inshore and offshore racing machine. Winning in the class will be a true test of skill, teamwork and strategy. It is the essence of the one design concept and raises the game of all its players.

Britannia Corporate Events has a fleet of 4 identical Sydney 40's which offer you and your clients the perfect opportunity for match racing aboard grand prix racing yachts under the supervision of our professional skippers and crew.

Each yacht can cater for 8 guests, along with 2 professional crew, who will teach you and your guests, the finer aspects of handling a yacht of this calibre.
