GC32 Racing Tour is a southern European-centered sailing boat circuit for GC32 one design foiling catamarans. It attracts both private owner-driven teams and those that are commercially-backed. [1]
The aim of the circuit is to provide the 'best foiling catamaran experience' for its participants. This includes visiting venues known to provide optimum wind conditions for foiling and race courses large enough to enable the boats to hit maximum speeds. The GC32 Racing Tour has several features in common with the 34th and 35th America's Cup in that it uses foiling catamarans and a similar race format which often includes reaching (rather than upwind) starts.
The circuit comprises five events. At each event and for the overall championship, prizes are awarded for the overall winner as well as the top 'owner-driver'. GC32 Racing Tour events also include the Anonimo Speed Challenge in which teams try to sail the fastest over a course that comprises two reaching legs with a gybe in between.
