TP52 boat owners are captains of industry in a range of business activities
Twelve TP52 crews will take part in 2020, representing eight different nations: Italy, USA, Great Britain, France, Turkey, South Africa, Germany and Russia.

Sailors from over 20 nations are represented onboard the 52 SUPER SERIES fleet in 2020.
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!
