Events

The signature events of the US offshore calendar are prime candidates for an assault from the Novis 40.  The Newport to Bermuda Race, the Pacific Cup, the Mackinac Races and many more are perfect for the Novis 40.  Then there are the solo and doublehanded events for which the boat was originally designed, where the Novis 40 will excel.  If you want to join the other Class 40 boats, you can race doublehanded, solo or with crew across the Atlantic or around Fastnet Rock.

And when you are done, you can cruise with your family on a boat that will get you from port to port a whole lot faster and safer than any other boat in the harbor – except another Novis 40.
