Description
The TP52 'Imagine' is now on the market and ready for a new home.

Built at King Marine in Spain, she was the winner of the 2012 Med Cup (ex Super Series).
She has been meticulously optimized and refined to compete at the highest level under both IRC and ORC rating rules. She is optimized for both Inshore and Offshore races and is EU VAT paid.
