In the exciting world of boat racing, a passionate and knowledgeable team has come together to create something unique – a 6-meter racing boat designed to be a strong competitor, whether on flat water or in waves. Through meticulous design and expert construction, and perhaps a touch of madness, these individuals have put their skills to the test to build a boat that can challenge top competitors.

The boat is designed and constructed by Petestep and assembled by Fiberplus, representing the best from several specialists in the field. By combining innovative design elements with advanced materials, they have created a boat that is fast, agile, and fierce on the water.

Wittracing has begun testing the boat and can confirm that it is ready to meet the challenges on the course and strive for victory.
The first test day brought both positives and negatives. The boat was equipped with action cameras, and within just a few meters, the team lost one camera. Perhaps not the best start, but it wasn’t the boat’s fault. It’s always a bit nerve-wracking to get into something completely new, especially with an untested hull. But the boat picked up speed and glided like it was on rails. Without revealing too much, the boat’s characteristics were a pleasant surprise, and we achieved a top speed of over 67 knots on the first test day. Not bad when you have a boat weighing over 700 kilos and "only" 115 hp.

It is the collaboration, technical skill, and passion for boat racing that have brought this impressive boat to life. With eyes on the finish line and hearts with the enthusiasts, this is a boat that promises excitement and action. See you on the sea!
