2016 Class 40 TIZH 40

This 2016 Class 40 Tizh 40 is a Guillaume Verdier design built by BG Race in France. The name references speed, and the boat represents an evolution of the Tyker 40, incorporating design principles from both the Mini Transat and IMOCA 60 classes. The hull features a low centre of gravity, voluminous bow, and sleek lines optimized for ocean racing. The stripped interior and aggressive ergonomics create an efficient, lightweight platform built for high-speed offshore performance.

The boat has a strong racing record. It achieved first place in the ArMen Race and second in the Grand Prix Guyader in 2018, followed by third place in the Corsica Med Cup 2022. It has performed consistently in both Mediterranean and Atlantic racing, demonstrating competitive capability across varied conditions and distances.

The yacht is ready for active racing programs and continues to perform at the front of the fleet.
