2011 Volvo Ocean Race

Emirates Team New Zealand:
Using our Alimax container structure we created two transportable 18mx18m bases for Emirates Team NZ. Each base travelled ahead of the other to be set up in the next port for next racing stop over port. The bases housed a sail-loft, a rigging container, an office, a cafeteria and a hardware repair and painting booth.

A Camper branded Baytex 5mx10m Fete was purchased to use for a sales/hospitality area in conjunction with the base.

 

2012 AC45 World Racing Series

AC45 Team Bases:
The Alimaxs were a mixture of 12m and 18m wide structures in lengths ranging up to 25m all designed to be container mounted with the containers acting as ballast, storage and service spaces for each of the teams. The structures were designed for quick and easy set-up and dismantling for storage in their own transport containers for shipment between each of the race venues. The Alimax included storage, workshop and office space.

2021 Americas Cup - NZ - American Magic

American Magic:
An AC72 18mx45m single container is to house, maintain and work on their training boat ‘The mule’ in Portland, and prove the design before embarking on final preparation of their AC75 race boat for the 2020 Americas Cup in Auckland. Using our curved Tension Purlins we designed a new system so the mono-hull mule could be lifted into the additional roof space and the canting dagger boards could be articulated.
