Looking sharp

The aggressive chines of Niklas Zennstrøm’s Fast 40+ Ràn are clear in this shot by Paul Wyeth at Lendy Cowes Week. Ràn is a fourth generation Carkeekdesigned Fast 40+ and has won every regatta on the circuit since being launched this spring. However, at Cowes it was the well-sailed local boat Girls on Film that led for the first three days, with Ràn just overhauling them on the final day.

Class rules limit professional sailors to five per crew. Ràn’s crew is also made up of younger sailors who are learning from some of the best in the business.
