Windermere unveils new sustainable GT Mono Light class
Windermere’s third sustainable race day introduced a new national class and underlined growing momentum behind lower-carbon powerboat racing.
This spring, the Wolf Rock Boat Company will be launching into the UK the new range of Swedish-designed IRON boats. IRON Boats were developed by enthusiasts Lars and Henrik Peterson in collaboration with the Mannerfelt Design Team in Sweden, who can boast more than 100 realised boat projects, including hulls that have won 26 UIM Offshore Powerboat Racing World Championships.
IRON and the Mannerfelt Design Team aim to combine the seaworthiness, soft running and tube fender function of a RIB with the inner deck space offered by GRP sports boats, with a view to producing a new concept in hybrid RIB sports boat design.
The IRON range includes four lengths based on one design, the IRON 647 (6.52m), IRON 707 (7.12m), IRON 767 (7.67m) and IRON 827 (8.32m). Each model is available with either a stealth black, classic white or grey GRP hull.
