Below Decks - How the Systems Work - Magic Carpet-e Pt3
Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones' latest launch Magic Carpet-e is a sleek modern Maxi that on the outside has plenty of IMOCA about her. The hopes are that on the race course she'll be pretty slippery too. But this Maxi is about more than that. When it comes to her systems below decks this is the most advanced 100footer to be launched for many years, a proof of technology that may well influence a generation of racers and cruisers to come. PlanetSail gets an exclusive, deep dive tour to look at the sophisticated systems that power this innovative Maxi. We also get to see her stunning accommodation, which has its own story to tell about how good looks and comfort play a big part in maximising the performance of this weapon of a machine. In Part 3 three of our Inside the Modern Maxi series Matt Sheahan gets the full tour below decks.
