The new sports boat was leaving the facility of the famous syndicate in Portsmouth when it came under the lens of an anonymous magazine source MBY.

The vessel is camouflaged with coloured camouflage film concealing its final appearance, but you can tell from the outline that it has a traditional high-performance hull.

Perhaps the team's experience in designing sailing boats for the America's Cup «» has been adapted into a new class of powerboat.

The sunpad above the engines and the presence of rear seats indicate that the boat is designed for sailing as well, not just for competition. However, a pair of front seats with high backs hint that the car is designed for professional race driving.

The observing paparazzi also noticed that the boat is equipped with two DUO PROP standard outboard motors with stainless steel propellers that should give her a long distance cruising.
