About this vessel
Proven Offshore Winner. Fast. Reliable. Ready to Race.
Trouble & Strife is a Bruce Farr designed Cookson 12 that perfectly combines racing performance with offshore reliability. Built in New Zealand and campaigned successfully from Queensland, she has established herself as one of Australia's most competitive 40-foot IRC and ORC race boats, with victories and podium finishes across some of the country's premier offshore events.
A proven performer, Trouble & Strife claimed 1st IRC and 1st ORCi in the Brisbane to Hamilton Island Yacht Race and has consistently featured at the front of major Queensland offshore fleets.
Designed by legendary naval architect Bruce Farr, the Cookson 12 is renowned for its exceptional all-round performance. Light displacement, a powerful sail plan and a deep, efficient keel deliver outstanding speed upwind, while off the breeze the boat comes alive, surfing and planing with the exhilarating performance that has made the design a favourite among serious offshore racers.
The Cookson 12 has earned a reputation as one of the most successful and versatile racer-cruisers of its era. Competitive under both IRC and ORC, the design offers the rare combination of outright speed, offshore capability, and manageable ownership costs. Whether racing around the cans, tackling coastal classics, or competing in major offshore regattas, Trouble & Strife is a yacht that consistently delivers results.
If you're looking for a genuine offshore weapon with proven winning form, exceptional reliability, and performance that still challenges much newer designs, Trouble & Strife is an opportunity not to be missed.
