52' Cookson TP52 Racing Sailboat

CONSTRUCTION:

Destroyer is a 2005, Bruce Far designed TP52 that was built in New Zealand by Cookson Boats of carbon fiber epoxy pre-preg with a Nomex core sandwich construction. Foam coring was used up forward in the "slamming areas" for added strength. 

Vacuum-bagged throughout with carbon/foam infused interior structure. with monocoque type construction forward of the mast.  

The interior arrangement has been simplified to its racing functionality. The resulting weight savings was used to congregate weight centrally in the boat to reduce pitching inertia and allow some exchange of volumes between appendages and hull.  

Destroyer was built to ABS Offshore Racing Guidelines and is one of the few TP52s that is set up for offshore racing. This has been proven time and again with 3 Transpacs, Cabo, Ensenada and So Cal 300 races under her belt. 

INTERIOR:

Destroyer's interior was gone though and repainted as necessary and 6 mm soft SeaDek flooring was installed on the carbon floorboards throughout the interior. The galley area has a 3-burner Primus propane stove and a large ice chest. The head and associated plumbing were replaced and fans were installed prior to the 2019 Transpac.
