“The idea for this boat comes from my last seven years in racing in one-design classes. During this period I thought of the parts that could be improved in this formula and I identified in the crew, one of the main element that could be changed from an owner point of view. Managing five people almost becomes a business, is like a small company and you have to take on costs that end up to be quite high. So I thought to design a boat just for two people that can manage it easily, reducing the costs and solving the problem to manage the crew”, says Ludovico Fassitelli founder and ceo of Junda. Technology is at the core of this new one design class: “On board, we have an instrument that makes a Gps network between all the boats at the start in line for the jury to see immediately which are the boat that started at the right time and which are the ones that didn’t. This way we avoid all problems related to the so called ‘general recall’, which happens when too many boats start too early and the jury has to repeat all the procedures which is a loss of time”. The plan for Junda KII is to start delivering the first production at the beginning of the summer to be ready to race here at the Monaco SportsBoat Winter Series 2024, then the Primo Cup in 2025 to continue with the national championship in the nations where there’ll be a fleet.
