About this TP / IRC 52 Farr

English

Quest is a new, central listing and an incredibly exciting one at that.
This IRC / ORC / TP52 is a two-time Sydney-Hobart overall winner and is a brilliantly well rated, fast and reliable TP52 platform.

Winner of the Hobart in both 2008 and 2015 highlights this boats continued pedigree and investments from its series of owners, which remains a short list since new, highlighting just how nice a boat this is to own and run.
Continued investment in the sail plan, as well as electronics has pushed the performance curve, but her biggest attribute is the upgraded keel fin, which was new in 2016 as well as bulb reprofiling.

Without question "Quest" is a completely offshore capable 52, that has proven her competitive edge is far beyond her design years and would stand any team in great stead for a 2024 campaign, even more so if you typically race in lighter air venues.
Huge excitement on offer with this yacht at a very attractive pricing level.

This highly optimized, offshore ready TP52 was designed by Bruce Farr and originally built as "Bright Star" before becoming "Quest", "Balance" and then back to her infamous "Quest" name.

One of the most successful TP's in offshore racing, this boat has lifted the iconic Sydney-Hobart trophy on two separate occasions in 2008 and again in 2015, showing she is a long way ahead of her design years.
