Decision wins class and 5th overall under IRC in the Newport-Bermuda
The crew from the Carkeek 40 ‘Decision’ did a great job in the 2012 Newport-Bermuda race, coming 5th overall on corrected time, only a few hours behind the mini maxi’s and the record breaking 90ft ‘Rambler’.

A hint at true performance…
The concept behind the Carkeek 40 is to create a yacht that is equally at home offshore or around the buoys, and most importantly provides a platform which can truly achieve explosive and exhilarating sailing. ‘Decision’, the first Carkeek 40 to hit the water, certainly provided that for her crew on her first competitive outing at the 39th International Rolex Regatta in St. Thomas…
