The original Secret Mens Business, designed by Murray Burns Dovell, built by Peter Bolton yachts in 1996, known as Secret Mens Business 1. Over the course of its many successful race campaigns, Secret Mens Business 1 has competed extensively in eastern seaboard offshore races, including the Audi Centre Sydney Blue Water Pointscore, and 10 Sydney Hobart races. Secret Mens Business 1 was purchased by David De Coster and Sally Armati in May 2018, berthed at CYCA, where she has been optimised to maintain her competitive edge.
