Yacht description

GP42 Hull number: CH-DEC00041D808

Lombardini engine LDW 1003 M number: 5576132

The current owner upgraded and optimized her for IRC and ORC. The most recent refit in 2023 was designed by Matteo Polli incorporating a full study and removing all excess weight in the yacht. Keel fin was customized and a new 420kg heavier bulb assembled.

Currently racing in the ORC fleet, she had excellent results around the rule, e.g. silver in ORC World Championship 2025, gold in Finnish and Estonian Championship 2023 and 2024 and bronze in ORC World Championship 2021.

Excellent sails, and well looked after, she offers a very good opportunity to get an extremely competitive ORC racing in Europe at a modest price.
