The new GP42 Fermax arrived in Valencia

A brand new GP42 boat made arrived in Valencia's yacht club. It is the Fermax GP42, the second unit that comes out of the Murtic Yachts boatyard in Croatia and designed by Botín & Carkeek. It is sponsored by the Valencia electronics company Fermax and marks the group's increased involvement in high-level race sailing after a number of years in the IMS 670 class.

Construction of the boat (ESP-8362) was finished three weeks ago in Croatia and unlike most other yachts, a crew of 4 sailors sailed with her all the way to Valencia. She will be taken off the water in order for the branding to be applied and the official presentation will take place on June 19, at 8:30pm in Valencia's yacht club.
