TP 52

TP 52 Koa for Sale with Race Yachts
Fresh from her 1st Overall IRC Pittwater to Coffs race 2025 & 1st overall TPR Sail Port Stephens Koa is certainly showing she can mix it at the front of the fleet.

Designed by Farr and built by Goetz (USA) for the US and European TP52 regattas, KOA was one of the best TP52's to hit the circuit. Sistership to, and built alongside two-time Hobart winner 'Quest', KOA is arguably one of the best TP52's of this age series on the market. Well maintained, with complete Cat 1 offshore inventory, and strengthened and waterproofed to compete in some of the toughest offshore races including the Transpac, Middle Sea Race (winning overall), China Sea race and multiple Rolex Sydney Hobart Races. KOA will appeal to those looking to step up into a race ready and competitive TP52 that continues to record great results on the Australian racing circuit.

Koa has been raced on the Australian race circuit since 2016 and has won many races at the highest level, often beating many much newer TP52's on IRC and ORC handicap. Notable results include 1st overall IRC / ORC and line honours 2017 Flinders Island Race, for which Koa remains the conventionally ballasted race record holder. Koa was 2nd overall IRC in the 2016 Sydney to Gold Coast race, winner of the inaugural TP52 Gold Cup regatta 2019 and winner IRC at Magnetic Island Race Week 2022. Koa won under IRC the 2023 Cabbage Tree Island race and was second on IRC in the 2023 Brisbane to Hamilton Island race and the Flinders Island races. This year Koa has won the Pittwater to Coffs Harbour race on both line honours and IRC and just won the TP52 Gold Cup event at Sail Port Stephens under TPR.
Koa is sister ship to two-time Sydney to Hobart winning Quest / Balance, which is a great pedigree.

The inventory includes many race rigging components, cat 1 safety gear, recently replaced Garmin
instruments, high spec Harken deck gear, a full wardrobe of good condition Doyle and North Sails carbon and composite racing sails, VHF and HF radios, spares parts, custom transport cradle and more. All of the equipment is stored off vessel in a container, which comes with the boat on sale.
