Three TP52's are currently hauled at Gulf Harbour marina, 40 minutes north of Auckland.
They are Fox - built by Cooksons for a US owner, and Beau Geste also built by Cookson Boats for a Hong Kong owner.
The third is Temptation an older TP52 formerly Beecom, now owned by long time 50fter Anatole Masfen and now renamed.
Fox is yet to be launched. Beau Geste competed in the recent PIC Coastal Classic, and Temptation has been a familiar sight on the West Coast USA racing scene.
All three have Southern Spars rigs with ECSix rigging, and carry a mix of Norths and Doyle Sails from the Auckland lofts. Temptation was one of the first TP52s to use Southern Spars TPT technology in her rig in 2011.
Beau Geste and Fox are the latest Botin TP52 design from the same mould at Cookson Boats. Temptation is from the Vrolijk design board.
