Description

"AMBITION" is an impressively upgraded IRC / GP 42 from Botin and Carkeek, that has been brought to the forefront of the 40ft scene. Previously known as "Tokoloshe" in the UK and "Enterprise" in Western Aus, she was the last (and best) GP42 built, with her close sistership being the all conquering "Callisto" in the last Admirals Cup event. Aside from the original hull, most of what you see on "Ambition" has been brought up to the very latest design and optimization iterations, including full compliance and capability offshore as well as Inshore.Her most notable upgrades include a new Hall Spars rig in 2020 with full composite rigging, deeper lighter keel fin, complete structural overhaul including her new flush deck and most recently an electronics package that ticks all the boxes for offshore routing. The icing on the cake is that not only is this a fully turn-key boat with huge rated performance, but these boats offer crews some of the most exciting sailing out there, whilst not having 52 budgets!"Ambition" is now a do-it-all type boat and absolutely ready to go........ Did someone say Admirals Cup 2027?
