Overview

About this vessel

Built as Quantum Racing by one of the most successful TP52 Builders in the World 2Longitude Cero 2. Professionally maintained and continually refitted throughout her life to keep her competitive against much newer boats, Vesper is still very much at the top of the fleet and could potentially be the most decorated 52 ever built (see below her incredible results and relevant links). Her most recent victory's have come at the 2025 Copa Del Rey where she was crowned ORC European Champion, coming out on top over 8 other TP52 s, including several 2015 & 2018 generation boats, while she also took out her class on IRC at the 2025 Les Voiles de St Tropez.

The yacht remains competitive under both IRC and ORC with the current trim tab configuration, while the recent optimization has been more closely aligned with ORC. Vesper is an exceptionally fast yacht whose rating remains manageable, in part due to 15 years of accumulated age allowance under the rating rules. Notably, her rig remains the one of the lightest 2tall rigs 2 in the fleet.

Under current ownership, Vesper has regularly competed against several 2turbo 2 TP52s and one area of targeted improvement for the 2024 2025 season was better control off the start line and maintaining clear air 1 critical factors in large fleet racing.
