Custom 20ft Workshop Container:
GeMera Racing’s Mobile Powerhouse
When GeMera Racing joined the 44Cup circuit, they needed more than just a storage unit for sails, tools and spares. The team required a portable workspace that matched the same precision, quality and attention to detail that are applied to all other aspects of the campaign. That’s where Nice-Box were tasked with providing a solution.
The 44Cup class has a unique class rule that stipulates that each team shall only have a single 20’ container allocated to this purpose. The implications of this are that to provide a workspace that facilitates all the required trade skills that keep the modern race boat at the front of the fleet, whilst simultaneously storing a quiver of both race and training sails in addition to a seasons worth of spare parts and consumables, requires an array of novel features in an inherently small space.
Why GeMera Racing Needed Something Special
GeMera is the fresh, young and competitive name in the 44Cup fleet — with Markus Törnqvist at the helm, backed up by the likes of Francesco Bruni and Kyle Langford. This is a team that has a singular goal. The brief was simple; performance, precision and reliability — whether out on the racecourse or behind the scenes. That’s exactly what this container delivers.
Built for Performance
GeMera Racing’s 20’ high cube unit is more than just storage. It’s a precision-built workshop designed around the team’s day-to-day needs:
- Comprehensive tool organisation with dedicated drawers and foam inserts for fast access and accountability.
- Integrated rope and sail storage to protect equipment and keep workflows smooth.
- LED task and strip lighting for clear, efficient work whatever the conditions.
- Climate-controlled comfort to protect both the crew and the equipment.
- Lockable cabinetry and COSHH storage to keep safety and compliance front and centre, with speed of set up and pack up a priority.
This is a space where every tool has a place, every job has its station, and every detail works in harmony to make the team more efficient.
