First Light is an Owen Clarke-designed Class 40 owned by Elizabeth Tucker. Tucker famously delivered the boat 14,000 miles from Europe to Sydney and it has been around the globe 2.5 times, holding the record as the fastest 40ft and under boat to sail around the world. This weapon features a water-ballast system and twin rudders engineered for demanding short-handed racing. After successfully skippering an all-female crew through brutal upwind seas to finish the historic 2025 race, Tucker returns to the double-handed circuit with co-skipper Angus Clarke for her premier short-handed division debut.
