WELCOME TO CALERO SAILING TEAM
WELCOME TO
The RC44 was originally conceived in 2005 by New Zealand America’s Cup legend Russell Coutts with naval architecture carried out by Slovenian Andrej Justin. <br><br>Since its launch in 2007, the RC44 Championship Tour has established itself as a key series to compete on in the international yacht racing scene. Fast forward 12 years and as the class goes from strength to strength, with new venues introduced the calendar and new teams joining the fleet.

WHY SO SPECIAL?
The design:
These one-designs have been designed with the advantages of dinghy sailing in mind but for larger boats. They are fast when they go downwind (downwind) and powerful when they are against the wind. They are inspired by the America's Cup, although with enough of their own elements to compete in match racing and fleet tests. They are high-performance boats designed for “top” international regattas, which are carried out under very controlled class rules.
Easy and comfortable transportation:
The way of transporting them is also a great novelty. They are disassembled and the mast is placed inside a container, divided into two pieces, the hull, the rudder and the boom. This saves space and makes both storage and transportation easier.
