Overview

About this vessel

Philosopher is a fastidious owner's turnkey Cat 1 racing machine, prepared for the 2025 Rolex Sydney to Hobart with all equipment ready to race offshore. From her Starlink Mini and B&G Edge processor to her new mast, rigging and comprehensive suit of sails, she wants for nothing. Ideal for crewed or two handed sailing, Philosopher is a fast harbour racer that has proven very capable of offshore results. She is also a fantastic double handed boat, capable of taking on and beating the newer production boats.

Philosopher was originally assembled by Peter Sorenson with the specific aim of winning IRC events. With a sugar scoop added, a Fred Barrett designed bowsprit, a tiller for better feel, a larger foretriangle designed and a weight reduction program instigated, she has been on top of a lot of podiums.

Under her next owner Sean Tiedemann, she won her division in the Sydney Hobart in 2019, and the IRC Nationals in 2018 and 2019.

She was then very successfully campaigned double handed by David Henry, who maintained her to an extremely high standard and continued to improve her, achieving excellent results including a win in the Sydney Gold Coast Double Handed Division in 2023.

Under her current stewardship, the additions and upgrades have continued, with a new carbon tiller and modified rudder, new mast, rigging and cordage, updated sail wardrobe, and a large investment in her electronics package. No part of her has been left untouched in the quest for boatspeed and reliability, and all receipts are available on request.

She is reluctantly offered for sale due to a change of circumstances. Philosopher's record since launching in 2007 is truly remarkable.
