2009 Botin & Carkeek GP42

This 2009 Botin & Carkeek GP42 is a 42-foot racing yacht built to IRC specifications. Originally constructed as one of the final examples of the GP42 class, the boat has undergone substantial modernization while retaining its original hull. The design is known for strong performance in both offshore and inshore racing environments.

Major upgrades include a new Hall Spars rig installed in 2020 with full composite rigging, a redesigned keel fin that is both deeper and lighter than the original, and a complete structural overhaul. The deck was rebuilt to a flush configuration as part of this work. The yacht is powered by a single diesel engine.

Recent additions include a comprehensive electronics package designed for offshore routing and navigation. These upgrades bring the boat to current performance standards and specifications, making it capable across a range of racing conditions and distances.
