TP52 Matador - When Only the Best Will Do
Step aboard Matador and you step into the winner's circle. A benchmark in Australian grand prix racing, Matador has dominated the TP52 class in recent seasons--clinching multiple victories in the TP52 Gold Cup, Australian Yachting Championship, and Hamilton Island Race Week. She's not just competitive--she's the boat to beat.
Launched by King Marine and designed by the world-renowned Judel/Vrolijk team, Matador has been continually upgraded to stay at the front of the fleet. A comprehensive 2024-2025 refit has left no stone unturned--fresh topside and deck paint, rig overhaul, updated electronics, and a professionally optimised keel and bulb package delivering enhanced performance across all conditions. Her full Doyle sail wardrobe is extensive and current, and she's fitted with carbon EC6 rigging, hydraulics, and the very latest in instrumentation.
Campaign-proven and turn-key, Matador is presented in peak condition and comes complete with a full suite of tools, spares, covers, cradle, and race-ready systems. Whether you're chasing trophies offshore or leading the charge around the cans, Matador delivers podium potential from day one.
If you're serious about winning, and only the best will do--Matador is your next race yacht.
