This summer, our affiliated company Infiniti Yachts, will be launching its revolutionary foil-driven sailing yacht, The Infiniti 52.
This will be the first racing yacht designed, engineered and built around the award-winning Dynamic Stability System (DSS). The DSS transverse foil provides proven performance without the risk and cost of more complex class-driven foil solutions. The system provides the Infiniti 52 significant righting moment allowing the yacht to be sailed with a much smaller crew of 7-8.
The Infiniti 52 will not only incorporate the DSS transverse foil but will also be the first racing yacht to be designed, engineered and built to take full advantage of Doyle Sails Cableless technology as well as having Harken air winches and Grand Prix deck gear.
Skip Mattos, Harken GrandPrix Sales and Project Manager said, “The Infiniti 52 is designed for peak performance, without compromising handling and comfort, capable of F1 speeds with incredible ease.”
Designed by Infiniti Yachts, engineered by Gurit, and manufactured at Composite Builders the team are aiming for delivery later this summer.
America’s Cup and Volvo Ocean Race Veteran Brian MacInnes are leading the Infiniti 52 construction team at Composite Builders. “Having raced at the top of the sport for 30 years and knowing what it takes to win I was seriously impressed by the Infiniti 52 and the team that has developed it. A yacht like this is the reason we set up Composite Builders, to be able to build the best on the market.” Said McInnes.
The Infiniti 52 harnesses this energy in a beautiful design that belies its racing pedigree. It is a cutting-edge design based upon proven technology with an unparalleled breadth of experience in this industry including world-class partners: Gurit, Composite Builders, Doyle Sails, Harken, Isotop, Design Unlimited, NZ Spars & Rigging and Waypoint Racing.
Driven by a relentless passion, the team at Infiniti hopes to change the way that people see and experience Grand Prix sailing.
