Description

"HALBTROCKEN" (ex-Concubine), launched in mid 2015, is certainly an impressive grand-prix racer in the mid-40ft category. Equally at home both inshore and offshore, HALBTROCKEN is a full carbon, high-end build from Premier Composites, that was originally penned to be an IRC winning boat competing in Australia's top regattas. Her early career was "mission achieved" before being sold to her current German owner who has focused on ORCi with incredible success culminating in victory at the ORCi World Champs in 2021. Along with a high-spec Harken deck package and full inshore and offshore GP sail inventories, she is a boat that can also easily switch between inshore and offshore configurations and thanks to her topside height and interior volume, she is very comfortable and capable compared to some of her peers.If you want a boat that has the chance of winning some of yachting's most iconic races, this boats needs a second look!Exclusively listed with Ancasta Race Boats. High quality race boats like HALBTROCKEN, that are prepared and optimised to this level, are a rare commodity. Another exceptional design from Mark Mills, which was a custom build for an experienced Australian owner originally, started life at the very front of the IRC fleets in AUS, before finding her second (current) owner in Germany. Her second life has seen the boat raced purely under ORCi and with only sail modifications, the boat has proven to be one of the very best ORCi machines going, especially at this size and with this fun factor. The Mills 45 is a high volume boat compared to her rivals at 45/46ft and that largely stems from the slightly higher freeboard, giving the boat a really solid feel in a sea way. Some good camber on deck also pushes that interior volume up and affords crews a very functional space below deck, whilst still maintaining that flush deck aesthetic and low windage feature. An enclosed heads, proper full length bunks, tidy galley area off to stb, designated nav station that smartly rotates from tack to tack and a lifting propellor system are just some of the really clever decisions that have been taken during the design and build of this boat. Finally it is clear when you look around the boat, that real thought has gone into the waterproofing systems on board, unlike so many boats that get modified at a later stage, this was done once and done right from the beginning. "Halbtrocken" is for sure a special machine and a boat that affords owners so many event options, given her proven performance and indeed ability to race both inshore and offshore without compromise.
