TP 52

Huge price reduction - Owner says SELL!!!

The go to designers for the Audi Med Cup Circuit, Botin & Carkeek were commissioned by Team New Zealand to design the ultimate TP 52 they could, the results show they achieved their goal when they succeeded in winning both the 2009 & 2010 Med Cup Series (pre the Super Series) being introduced in 2012.)

Marcus Blackmore after carefully considering his options purchased the boat to win premier regattas in Australia & he too achieved his goal by winning the 2011 & 2012 Hamilton Island Race Weeks, after optimizing the yacht to the IRC Rule. He sold Hooligan in 2013 to a US owner who shipped her to the US & did further optimising in 2014.

In 2019 the current owner was looking for a competitive TP 52 & brought her back to South Australia where he has raced successfully at local level in club events & Port Lincoln Race Weeks where this year she finished a very creditable 3rd in the Australian IRC Championships with her crew consisting of local South Australian team members.

All Carbon rigging being either replaced or serviced & certified by Rig Pro Spain in 2019.
The mast was reengineered to suit the latest Super Series large roach Mainsail that was purchased new in 2021.
Current IRC Rating with Super Series Mainsail - 1.396 TCC (Certificate available).
New Garmin & B&G Electronics in 2021,
North Sails Inventory of 3Di sails & Spinnakers (Detailed inventory available).
Current Cat 3 Safety Gear.
New VC Antifoul in February 2023.
New Running rigging in 2023.

Another Hooligan represents very fair value in todays market for those looking for a competitive Cat 2 offshore race yacht with similar powerful stern sections to the later generation TP`s, which give them added stability in any up range sailing conditions.
