This lightweight 52’ (16m) racing yacht was produced in carbon fibre epoxy composite by the CSC Composites Company, Istanbul, Turkey. The boat was designed by its owner Gurhan Tuker and CSC Ltd and is aimed at the handicapped (IRC) racing market. So good is the boat that the prototype came 3rd in its very first race, the prestigious 2012 Turkish Navy Cup. The boat was captained by the owner and the crewed by amateur sailors. Against the very best boats and crews in the Bosphorus, a 3rd placing is extremely creditable and shows the potential that this design has. Korza by CSC Composites
