She boasts a comfortable interior for after race socializing and passage making, with easily removable upholstered cushions, forced air furnace and 12v refrigeration. She has an extensive inventory of primarily North Sails, modern calibrated B&G instruments and is powered by a 2018 Volvo inboard diesel engine.
Blue is a turn key offshore race boat which can be sailed with limited crew due to her water ballast system. She has an impressive recent race record including being the 3rd boat to finish the 2022 Pacific Cup
Blue has a fully networked navigation system which incorporates all the B&G data and blends this with the boats polar's and sail inventory which is populated on a Surface Pro notebook which runs Expedition Tactical Software.
