Bmw Oracle Tp52

One of the finest TP52's ever built. Optimised for IRC and ORC, 2013 world champion in ORC, in 2014 proved competitive in Super Series and a winner in IRC! Best racing yacht ever?

Note: Yacht will sell for €420,000 with the proviso that the current owner keep her carbon standing rigging, and the carbon back stay.

 

Owners Comments:

 

The yacht was built in 2008, initially USA 17, designed by Reichel Pugh for Oracle Racing.

 

Built with no budget limit; was from the beginning very fast, winning it’s first and last TP event as Oracle with all first places.

 

We purchased the yacht from team Powerplay, who raced the yacht for 2 years in many offshore events; optimising her for IRC (keel and bulb were replaced with a new one design by Reichel Pugh, which can be adjusted in draft 2.25/2.35m) and reinforcing the full for offshore racing.

 

In 2013 we won the ORC Worlds and this year (2014) we won Copa del Rey in IRC 1 – obviously we won other races that are less important but have no need to be nominated!

 

The yacht is very fast among the TP of this period, in fact I can honestly say that she’s the fastest I’ve seen.
