Nine new boats were built for the 2018 52 SUPER SERIES by two designers, Botin Partners & Judel Vrolijk.
After 50 races, there were only 11pts separating first and third place in 2017.
TP52 boat owners are captains of industry in a range of business activities
Thirteen TP52 crews will take part in 2018, representing nine different nations: Italy, USA, Great Britain, France, Turkey, Brazil, South Africa, Germany and Russia.
It takes an average of 2-3 seconds to hoist a TP52 spinnaker to the top of the 22-metre mast
Sailors from over 20 nations are represented onboard the 52 SUPER SERIES fleet in 2018.
TP52s are boats built under a box rule, meaning that each boat must fit within a set of measurement parameters defined by the class rule.
Downwind in a strong breeze TP52’s can sail at well over 20 knots, which is why the owners just have so much fun racing them!
