In this start of the YRA Jr. Waterhouse offshore race we just barely squeezed ourselves into the start line at the boat end! It looks like Ventana was pinching just a bit, so I don't think we fully barged, but I also think they could have put us in a bad spot if they wanted to. Thankfully the Owner of Ventana is really nice! It's always good to race against friends 😅.

The J/111 is a new, high-performance, one-design sailboat. This sequence shows how this sailboat performs upwind in waves- a gentle motion with a knife-like entry into waves that does not slow the boat down.

TONGAROA is a very well-maintained and extensively upgraded example of the highly regarded Leopard 44 cruising catamaran from Robertson & Caine. Designed by Morelli & Melvin, the Leopard 44 combines excellent offshore capability with spacious accommodation and the highly desirable forward cockpit arrangement that made the model one of the most successful cruising catamarans of her generation. This particular example has benefitted from continuous upgrades and careful ownership, including a substantial refit and modernisation program between 2020 and 2026. Her systems have been comprehensively updated with lithium batteries, large solar capacity, upgraded Raymarine electronics, rebuilt sail drives and engines, new standing and running rigging, new alternators, custom Sunbrella enclosures, and numerous interior and exterior improvements. Tongaroa is currently registered under Spanish Lista 6ª and is fully charter-compliant in Spain. The owning company may also be acquired, offering a potentially tax-efficient ownership structure together with charter income potential. In the past year, the owners selectively chartered the vessel for approximately four weeks with professional skippers, generating sufficient income to offset annual mooring, insurance, and some maintenance costs. The vessel is being sold in the course of a business, which may present potential VAT advantages depending on the purchaser’s structure and intended use. Her inventory is exceptionally comprehensive with large lithium battery capacity, 1500W of solar, air conditioning, Starlink, upgraded navigation systems and a Highfield tender with electric outboard all making her an ideal platform for Mediterranean cruising, liveaboard use or light charter operation. Viewings are strongly recommended. For more info, please visit aberyyachts.com
