“Maritimo Racing is committed to showcasing the technological excellence of our brand to the world, and demonstrating what inherently makes Maritimo the world’s best luxury motor yachts. The knowledge we gain from racing technology is integral in the design and manufacturing of our motor yachts, transferring into all our production models and there is not another luxury motor yacht manufacturer in the world that can do that.”

Barry-Cotter said Maritimo Racing is in the process of constructing the second R30 XCAT which will be the team’s research and development hull, which can alternate with the existing world championship winning R30 entered in the XCAT World Championship at the end of each season.

“By having an identical boat here in Australia we can rapidly increase the rate of development, and enable specific upgrades to be fine tuned before installing or applying to the boat in the championship.” he said.

The remaining weeks of off-season testing and development will be critical in order to gain the early advantage in the 2020 season.

“We are excited with the upgrades we have developed this off-season to date, and at the prospect of defending our world championship, but it is as exciting to continue to apply this knowledge to our motor yacht range for the latest release 2020 models and future developments,” he said. “It’s an exciting time for our brand.”
