RC44 Worlds in the Swiss Alps

The 2024 RC44 World Championship will take place August 21-25 out of Brunnen on Lake Lucerne in the heart of Switzerland. The lake is surrounded by mountains and the wind is largely thermal, building typically to 12-18 knots in the afternoon but occasionally to as much as 25 knots, with flat water. The RC44 is designed with a removable stern section that allows it to be fitted into a 40-foot container for transport to the venue which is located 1,424 feet above sea level.

About the RC44 boat
Five-time America’s Cup winner Russell Coutts conceived the design of the light-displacement, high-performance one-design RC44 with naval architect Andrej Justin in 2005.

Created for top level one design racing in international regattas under strictly controlled Class Rules, the concept and design features of the RC44 are aimed at the amateur helmsmen with professional crews. For its thirteenth season in 2019, the RC44 Championship Tour was rebranded the 44Cup. https://www.44cup.org/
