The DK46 was designed by one of the world's leading yacht designers, Mark Mills — a specialist in performance yachts that combine speed and seaworthiness without compromise.
Only 12 yachts of this type have been built worldwide, and each one proves its racing potential on the water. DK46s have won at the world's most prestigious regattas: DK46 “Maserati” is a four-time Copa del Rey winner (2009, 2016, 2018, 2019).
The light epoxy hull and appendages are optimised to reduce drag and hold steady speed across a wide range of conditions. A deep ballasted keel gives excellent stability, complemented by a carbon mast and modern carbon sails.
The deck layout is designed for smooth, effective crew work with nothing superfluous, while the interior reflects the yacht's dual nature — a rare balance between speed and comfort.

Our values
RACING
The competitive spirit lies at the core of everything we do.
For us, athletic regattas are not just a sport, but a total immersion in the process: developing personal skills, tactics, and crew teamwork.
ADVENTURE
Everything we do is driven by a passion for adventure and exploring new horizons.
Our regatta journeys take place in the most picturesque waters, where everyone discovers new experiences, tests their limits, and gains a feeling of complete freedom at sea.
COMMUNITY
We create an environment where everyone becomes part of the team.
Joint training sessions, race debriefs, and adventures help make new acquaintances and build long-lasting connections.
At regattas, you also meet fellow sailors. Friendliness, openness, sharing experience, and striving for new achievements are valued here.
