It's being sailed two-handed in the 2022 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, up against 11 fully-crewed TP52s.

The boat is also powered by electric batteries and has nine solar panels on deck as co-owners Ian and Annika Thomson, who are husband and wife, share an important environmental message.

Watch the video above for a tour of this unique TP52.
