David Davenport’s newest purchase is a well proven offshore competitor. Davenport, who competed in the 75th Rolex Sydney Hobart in his previous boat, has purchased the TP52 with the goal to provide a platform for West Australians to gain experience on high performance offshore boats. Last known as Envy Scooters from late 2017, the boat placed 16th in the Rolex Sydney Hobart that year. Scored 19th in 2018 and sixth in 2019, dropping from third after a protest. The same year, the boat won the Noakes Sydney Gold Coast and Brisbane to Gladstone races. When first Aussie owner, Matt Allen, bought the former Audi Azzurra/Shogun V, he adapted it for offshore racing and claimed a divisional win in the 2015 NSW IRC Championship and placed fifth in the 2016 Rolex Sydney Hobart. A competitor to keep an eye on.
