Challenge 67, WHIRLWIND

Devonport Yachts Ltd, Challenge 67 Built 1992 / €346,000, + VAT

Broker’s Comments

The Challenge 67′ Class yachts were designed for The Challenge Business by David Thomas, specifically to race around the world “the wrong way”. The design brief called for exceptionally strong, seaworthy, fast, attractive, modern, steel yachts that were able to sail to windward across the Southern Ocean in relative comfort.

Safety was paramount both in terms of structural strength and crew safety. Because of the One Design nature of the race, the design was not influenced or distorted by any rating rule and a sensible displacement was specified. Other important design considerations include, ease of access to the structure, equipment, systems, wiring and fittings for maintenance and inspections both at sea and in harbour. Every piece of equipment had to be robust enough to survive a race around the world with minimum maintenance.

Many of the design principles were based on Sir Chay Blyth’s (then unique) experience of sailing around the world single handed against the prevailing winds and currents.

Devonport Yachts (DML) were chosen to build the fleet to Bureau Veritas highest notation. The construction method allows relatively simple and cost effective alterations to the interior layout.

Owner’s Comments

Being used for the last 10 years in our French Sailing School based in South Brittany, WHIRLWIND has welcomed trainees for sailing courses heading to Brittany, Isles of Scilly, Ireland, Azores, ARC, Caribbean islands as well as Atlantic crossing.

Pleasure and safety first! She gives a feeling of power as well as inspiring confidence: she’ll never let you down even if you deserve it! Being strongly built, one feels confident aboard. Made for offshore sailing, her big size and tonnage of the ship are an advantage for training and anticipating all situations at sea.

Anticipation is the right word to sail, which means security.

With 10 berths for crew members, supervised by 2 professional sailors, she’s able to sail across the Atlantic as well as up in the North Atlantic without effort.

Transat, tall ship race, training session, polar expedition, corporate regatta, charter… All these programmes are perfect for her!

Asked what we love most about WHIRLWIND – this is a difficult question, but overall she brings a feeling of well being aboard whatever the weather conditions – in heavy weather she performs reliably and in light airs she is excellent too. With her 30 year old design the Challenge Business heritage, her design will never date in terms of her seaworthiness and comfort for crewed sailing in all conditions.

America’s Cup: Team NZ launch new boat Taihoro as countdown to Barcelona continues

Christopher Reive

Share this article

Team New Zealand ’s new America’s Cup era has officially begun.

After rolling their new AC75 out of the shed last week and putting the vessel through its paces in the days since, Team New Zealand made a bit more of a spectacle when officially launching the boat at a ceremony in Auckland this afternoon.

The new AC75 has been gifted and blessed with the name Taihoro by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, with the name inspired by Taihoro-Nukurangi, and translates to “to move swiftly as the sea between both sky and earth”.

“Taihoro-Nukurangi captures the dynamic essence of the sea (tai), the concept of speed (horo), the earth’s movement (nuku), and the expanse of the sky (Rangi),” Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Trust chair Marama Royal said.

“Taihoro symbolises the boat’s evolutionary journey. It represents a transcendence of traditional boundaries, creating a connection between the sea and sky. This vessel is more than a mere craft; it harnesses the power of nature, seamlessly transitioning between realms. Taihoro is not just traversing the ocean; it bridges the gap between sea and sky in its quest for victory,” Royal said.

With each team only allowed to build one new AC75 for the America’s Cup in Barcelona later this year, there has been plenty of planning and development involved in the process.

For Team New Zealand, the build itself began over 10 months ago with 45 boat builders working on the project. It was completed a few weeks ago, at which point it was transported to the Team New Zealand base at Wynyard Point, where it has been fitted out with the required technical, hydraulic, mechatronic and electronic components, before being wheeled out out the shed last week.

While competing teams have been able to see plenty of what the others are up to throughout the campaign thanks to the joint recon team, the actual AC75s have been shrouded in secrecy; a veil which is now slowly being lifted around all teams.

Team New Zealand were the second to show their hand by putting their AC75 in the public eye, after Alinghi Red Bull Racing . Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli have since revealed their vessel, while Ineos Britannia have been teasing theirs on social media. American Magic and Orient Express Racing Team have also had the AC75s shipped to their respective bases in Barcelona and are expected to launch them in the coming weeks.

“These moments are always especially proud occasions for everyone in the team,” Team New Zealand chief executive Grant Dalton said.

“So much of what the team does has to be kept secret from friends and family for obvious reasons and the work involves a huge amount of dedication, commitment and time, so it is always special to share the result of that effort with them at our home base naming and presenting Taihoro in partnership with Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, who again have given our boat a really special and meaningful identity,” Dalton said.

“This is the boat which we will take to Barcelona to defend the Americas’ Cup for New Zealand later this year and the name Taihoro helps us to carry our identity to Barcelona and to share our country’s innovation and culture on the world stage.”

Rescuers search for 3 missing after boat capsizes in Indian-controlled Kashmir, killing at least 6

SRINAGAR, India — Rescuers scrambled Tuesday to find three missing people after a boat carrying at least 15 capsized in a river in Indian-controlled Kashmir , killing six of them, officials said.

Many of the passengers were children and six people were rescued, said Bilal Mohiuddin Bhat, a civil administrator.

The boat capsized in Jhelum river in Srinagar, the region’s main city. A rope that guided the boat across the river snapped with the force of the fast-flowing water, capsizing the vessel. Heavy rains fell over the region in the past few days, leading to higher water levels in the river.

Eyewitness Firdous Ahmed Lone said he heard people crying for help and he rushed to save them.

“I pulled out four of them from the river, but they were already dead,” Lone said.

Boating accidents are common in India, where many vessels are overcrowded and have inadequate safety equipment.

Last year, 22 people drowned when a double-decker boat carrying more than 30 passengers capsized near a beach in Kerala state in southern India.

In May 2018, 30 people died when their boat capsized on the swollen Godavari River in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh.
