This 2011 Botin Volvo 70 is a composite-hulled racing yacht originally built for the 2011–12 Volvo Ocean Race, where it competed as Camper and finished second overall. The boat was constructed by Cookson Boats in New Zealand using carbon fiber and Nomex construction, designed by the Emirates Team New Zealand and Botin design teams for speed, strength, and ocean-going durability. It features a 40-degree canting keel and holds a 24-hour monohull distance record of 565 miles.
As a third-generation Volvo 70, this yacht represents an advanced iteration of the now-retired one-design rule. The hull measures 70.54 feet in length with an 18.73-foot beam. Since its racing campaign, the boat has transitioned into an accomplished IRC racing machine, bringing proven offshore performance to competitive circuit racing.
