> When the Quantum Sail Design Group distributed a press release on
> March 31 to announce the “stunning and eye-catching livery” on their
> newly launched TP52 Quantum Racing, we thought they got the date
> wrong for an April Fools prank. The graphics were, well, different.
>
> With the completion now of the 5-event 52 Super Series in Europe,
> which saw the team close strong by winning the two final events,
> Quantum President Ed Reynolds provides this report on the flash
> design…
>
> Explain the idea behind the graphics.

> When we decided to build a new TP 52 for the 2015 season, we felt it
> was time to upgrade our graphics. When we did the original Quantum
> Racing in 2008, our graphics were a bit of a sensation, but over the
> years we kept seeing more and more boats copying the concept,
> especially the “bow wave”.
>
> So we went back to the designer who did the 2008 concept (Bas van der
> Heide, from Studiobas) and asked him to give us some ideas for our
> new boat. What we used was the only design he sent us, which included
> a note that said. “Quantum has earned the right to go crazy”.
