Enterprise Next Generation

 

Captain’ Anthony Kirke has upgraded from his Farr 40, Enterprise (they finished 21st overall to win Division 4 in 2019), to this faster Botin/Carkeek GP42 which came off the Fast 40 circuit in the UK and has been modified for offshore sailing. West Australians Kirke and Andrew Nuttman brought his boat to Sydney, tested her in the Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race and placed 34th overall, then ninth in the Flinders Islet Race and 14th in the Tollgate Islands Race, as the crew continues to grow in confidence with the boat.
