Patrick Charrier’s winning wrap design for the Haugaard Racing Team raceboat
A design by Patrick Charrier of Bazoom Studio, France, will be applied to a 2017 World Formula 4 UIM Powerboat during the final round of FESPA’s World Wrap Masters competition.
The winning design was chosen by the driver of the Haugaard Racing Team raceboat, Sebastian Haugaard Trads, and the World Wrap Masters Series head judge, Ole Solskin Ravn. The boat will be wrapped with Mr Charrier’s design during the World Wrap Masters live final on 10 and 11 May 2017 at FESPA.
‘Bazoom Studio’s design is unique and personal, incorporating beautiful flow lines and colours,’ said Mr Haugaard. ‘We have not yet seen similar designs in the racing community and are confident this design will differentiate us in the field.’
‘I was overwhelmed when I heard I’d won the design competition,’ said Mr Charrier. ‘The general idea was to give an impression of movement to the boat, even when it’s at a standstill. Blue and white are the top colours for a boat – lots of white for the pontoons to contrast with the surface of the water. The gradated honeycomb patterns evoke the composite materials used to construct the boat. The stars are included to reference the pilot, the tightrope walker in his cockpit, as well as a nod to shooting stars and speed on water.’
