Description

VARUNA VI, is one of the most exciting IRC/ORC offshore boats ever built and now she is ready for her next thrill seeking owner! The brain child of Jason Ker, this boat is a custom design that was built with the Worlds Iconic offshore races in mind.Plenty of optimization and modification since launching, led by some of the worlds best sailors, has pushed this boat a long way from its original layout and she is ready to challenge for silverware once again.Stored indoors in Hamburg, Germany, a substantial recent price reduction shows the owners motivation to move her on.Please get in contact to learn more - [email protected] A true ocean racer that has been staggeringly well prepared and optimized. Early gremlins, as typical with any custom build, now well out the way now and performance is now proven across many wind ranges and race courses. Recent 2018 Transatlantic Winner.
