It will also be the one design used for the 2017-18 edition. At 65ft LOA the new yachts are slightly shorter than the previous generation of Volvo Open 70s but will be more reliable, robust and affordable while still being a very high performance racing boat.<\/p>\n<p>The new boat is designed by Farr Yacht Design with a consortium of four boatyards taking care of the build process \u2014 Green Marine in the United Kingdom, Decision in Switzerland, Persico in Italy and Multiplast in France.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFarr Yacht Design is pretty uniquely positioned in that we have an enormous Volvo Ocean Race experience,&#8221; said Patrick Shaughnessy, President of Farr Yacht Design. &#8220;We have designed 40 boats for the race, been involved in nine editions, the last few campaigns we&#8217;ve been on the ground 100 percent of the time supporting the teams and really been part of the race, and the thing that makes us a little unique is that we can combine that with an enormous one-design experience. I don&#8217;t believe there&#8217;s another team in the world that can present all those parts and that&#8217;s really I think what makes us ideally suited for this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3833,"parent":0,"template":"","yacht-type":[10,9,11],"design-type":[28],"class_list":["post-3131","yacht","type-yacht","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","yacht-type-length","yacht-type-number","yacht-type-volvo-ocean-race","design-type-no-overview"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/farrdesign.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yacht\/3131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/farrdesign.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yacht"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/farrdesign.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/yacht"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farrdesign.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/farrdesign.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"yacht-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farrdesign.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yacht-type?post=3131"},{"taxonomy":"design-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farrdesign.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/design-type?post=3131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
