Racing Spirit, the premium technical apparel brand of Racing Force Group, is proud to announce the continuation of its partnership with the Fast and Furio Sailing Team, one of the most successful professional sailing teams in more than thirty years of competition. Following an extremely positive first year of collaboration, the crews of the Maxi 100 Arca SGR and Marta 07 yachts will continue to wear Racing Spirit garments, which combine style, performance, and comfort while using sustainable and cutting-edge materials.
Led by project leader and helmsman Furio Benussi, the Fast and Furio Sailing Team is preparing to return to competition after a 2025 season filled again with prestigious successes, including victories at the Regate di Primavera in Portofino, the 151 Miglia – Trofeo Cetilar, and the Viareggio-Bastia-Viareggio race, before concluding with a one-two finish at the 57th Barcolana in Trieste, where Maxi 100 Arca SGR and Marta 07 crossed the line in first and second place.
Born from the experience of the OMP brand, which throughout its history has won countless world titles by equipping some of the most renowned drivers and teams in motosport, Racing Spirit continues to strengthen its presence in the nautical sector as well, where innovation and performance are key elements of success, just as they are in the auto racing world from which it originates.
The Fast and Furio Sailing Team crews wear a selection of Racing Spirit technical garments designed to meet yacht racing demands, even in adverse weather conditions, as well as during setup and maintenance operations ashore. The range includes jackets, hoodies, t-shirts, and other products featuring specific customizations through solutions derived from motorsport.
The 2026 Fast and Furio Sailing Team season will officially begin with the Regate di Primavera in Portofino (Genova), scheduled from April 30th to May 3rd.
Paolo Delprato, Chairman and CEO of Racing Force Group
“With our Racing Spirit brand, we entered the world of sailing quietly, with the same humility and determination that characterize every new journey undertaken by Racing Force. Year after year, we have transformed this experience into tangible growth, developing increasingly advanced and competitive products capable of meeting the demands of a technical and selective environment such as competitive sailing. The partnership with the Fast and Furio Sailing Team is a fundamental accelerator of this process: thanks to their level, their sensitivity, and their culture of performance and victory, we continue to improve our garments with the aim of contributing ever more to their triumphs and to the success of Racing Spirit in the nautical sector as well.”
Furio Benussi, Project Leader of Fast and Furio Sailing Team
“A special bond has been created with Racing Spirit, built on trust, shared values, and a common vision. Last season brought us great satisfaction, both on and off the water, and today we continue this journey with even greater enthusiasm. We bring ashore what we experience every day onboard, transforming experience and sensations into practical insights to further develop every detail of the collection together. It is a collaboration born from the sea and looking far ahead, with the desire to grow together in the years to come.”
