WallyCento Magic Carpet3 plans to join the action in the new SYC Performance Class State-of-the-art performance cruiser Ghost, built by SYC Silver partner Vitters, returns The Owners' Dinner at the St. Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort is an SYC highlight
The competitive WallyCento Magic Carpet3 and state-of-the-art performance cruiser Ghost are finalising their plans to join the fleet when racing starts in June at the home of superyacht sailing in the Mediterranean. Both will add their names to the growing roster which already includes the Baltic Yachts superketch Hetairos and Swan 90S Freya. Like Freya, the 30.47m Magic Carpet3 was attracted to what will be the 24 th edition of Superyacht Cup Palma by the prospect of ultra-competitive fleet racing offered by the new Performance Class. “We have taken part in several Palma Vela regattas so we are very familiar with the fantastic sailing conditions on offer out in Palma Bay, and we are excited and looking forward to what will be our first Superyacht Cup Palma appearance,” said Magic Carpet3’s captain Danny Gallichan. “In particular the new Performance Class was a big factor for us, with the fleet racing starts and the high-intensity racing that goes along with it,” he added. “It will be a great event for the owner and the whole crew to test themselves in what is sure to be a competitive setting.” Launched in 2013 and well campaigned ever since, the Reichel Pugh designed Magic Carpet3 comes to the SYC with a winning track record, not least a Performance Class victory at the 2019 Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, last June.
