The supermaxi which started life as the 90ft Nicorette has been stretched to 98ft in a design project led by Bakewell-White Yacht Design who undertook a similar exercise re-generating the supermaxi Zana into race winning RIO100. The build project for CQS was undertaken by Southern Ocean boatyard in Tauranga.
Spars for the supermaxi are by Hall Spars (NZ).
She is expected to compete in the White Island Race starting next Friday November 25, all going well, she will then head across the Tasman to line up in the Sydney Hobart race starting on December 26.
