Conceived as an uncompromising, highperformance racing machine, the Donovan GP 26 represents a refined interpretation of the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) GP 26 box rule. Designed by renowned naval architect Jim Donovan of JP Donovan Design, this pocket rocket was engineered to bridge the gap between highend, lightdisplacement sportboats and larger offshore grand prix racers. Originally brought to life in 2011 through highquality composite builders like Windseeker Yachts and later Mag Marin Composite Yachts under the Wraceboats brand, the design targeted competitive sailors seeking maximum speed, modern handling, and affordable campaigning. Unlike the generic production boats of its era, the GP 26 was built to offer the thrills of a grand prix racer with the structural integrity required for both tightcourse windwardleeward racing and demanding coastal sprints.
