Raptor 11m RIB
A scintillating new Kiwi-designed America’s Cup 40 chase boat hit the water in Auckland in late April.
Built by Fusion Marine Boat Builders in Silverdale, it showed its paces before being packed up and shipped off to its new Swedish owners. A stepped-hull design powered by twin Yamaha 300hp outboard motors, this new craft’s sleek lines shout performance. And performance there is, topping out at 55.2 knots or 102kph.
Built specifically to service the AC40 fleet in upcoming America’s Cup Youth and Women’s regattas, the craft is built to meet exacting requirements.
