ABRACADABRA

For the Admiral’s Cup campaign, GPR provided engineering consultation, structural modifications, and race-period support for Abracadabra.

When time-sensitive challenges arose—including late component deliveries and damaged hardware—GPR deployed rapid logistics, transporting equipment from the U.S. to the U.K. to maintain competition schedules.

The result was a technically optimized, race-ready platform that competed at both the Admiral’s Cup and ORC Worlds.
