Black Star I – RC32 Catamaran
Faster is impossible: The Black Star Sailing GC32 racing catamaran.
Developed by Laurent Lenne and designed by Dr. Martin Fischer, the GC32 is a 10 m long (12 m including bowsprit) and 6 m wide Foilerkatamaran, which is considered one of the fastest racing yachts in the world.
Black Star II – RC44 Yacht
High-tech and lightweight: the Black Star Sailing RC44 yacht.
Developed by America’s Cup legend Russell Coutts in collaboration with yacht designer Andrej Justin, the RC44 yacht is one of the most advanced you can sail at the moment. And it is becoming increasingly popular, not only among professionals.
