Speedboat, from the board of in-vogue Argentinean designer, Juan Kouyoumdjian, and built by Cookson Boats, is the latest of a an exclusive breed of 100ft long supermaxis. These are the fastest racing monohulls in the world, which generate their enormous stability from the use of canting keel technology. Most pundits tip Speedboat to take over the mantle of the planet’s fastest monohull, and to shatter many race records along the way.
The construction of Speedboat was a closely kept secret at the North Shore yard of Cookson Boats. Following her launch, a series of videos and images of the project have been posted on the www.cooksonboats.co.nz!Cookson_website describing the whole process.
