Cayard the invincible

The Whitbread winner proves his mettle as a match racer by winning the Nations Cup

The pair of boats used in the Nation's Cup are a design by Cellarelli Yacht Design, built in carbon fibre by Cantiere Andrea e Antonio Latini. Their concept is quite interesting: an Open class style hull - flat bottomed beamy - but designed to be used by the local Trieste-based Tuttatrieste team for match racing.
