It’s unusual for a new design to offer a genuinely revolutionary difference to existing models. However, the Infiniti Yachts 52R (Racer) and 52RC (Racer-Cruiser) present a rare opportunity for those who race offshore on existing production yachts to step up into a high-performance foiling design.
Hugh Welbourn’s Dynamic Stability System (DSS), launched in 2007 after 10 years of development, has been a critical driving force behind the foiling monohull revolution from the outset. Infiniti Yachts’ first boats, a 36ft daysailer and 46ft offshore racer, were launched in 2011 and 2015. The latter went on to establish an enviable record, including class wins in successive editions of the Rolex Middle Sea Race, as well as the RORC Transatlantic Race and Transpac warm-up, the SoCal 300.
