The MAT 11 just won the 2026 ORC World Championship in Italy — straight out of the box. Hull #1. First race. World Champion.

That kind of debut almost never happens. New boats usually need a season of tuning and crew miles before they're dialed in. This one showed up and won the biggest title in handicap racing on its very first outing. That's a serious statement.
Italian designer Polli. Italian owner. A flawless debut — and the owner deserves enormous credit for the program and preparation behind it.
Polli has a reputation for squeezing every ounce out of the ORC rule without sacrificing pure speed — a balance very few designers actually pull off. The MAT 11 is the clearest proof yet.
At New Wave Yachts, we're proud to represent these yachts. They're scary fast and seriously well built. We've been racing a MAT 1070 and a MAT 1220 ourselves, and the craftsmanship impresses us every time we step aboard.
The race-ready deck layout gives every crew member room to work — a small thing on paper that makes a big difference during a hot drop or a crash tack. Deep, thin rudders on carbon posts make her responsive on the helm and give a driver real confidence in big breeze.
Built in Turkey to keep costs down without cutting corners, these boats deliver world-class performance at a price that actually makes sense.
This is the future of yacht racing: smarter design, better value, and boats that win right out of the shipping cradle.
Welcome aboard. Congratulations, Team MAT!
