The Formula 18 class is without a doubt the biggest, most professional and fastest growing class in the world.

AHPC are proud to release the newest and most advanced F18 on the markest. With over 30 years of catamaran design experience and the latest in design software, we have combined knowledge from our CAPRICORN, VIPER and many other designs.

The new bow shape improves the flow and volume in the front section of the hull, while utilizing the maximum possible water line length. by shifting the main beam, the C2 has more bow than another F18 on the market. This, in addition to the increased bow buoyancy will result great downwind speed and stability. The square transom and raised rear beam are designed to decrease beam slap and increase large wave handling.

We have carried over the successful mast and beam sections from the CAPRICORN. The rig is a optimized and developed Goodall rig (all dimensions pushed to the class limits).
