Her IRC certificate is current, with 2025 weighing completed, allowing a new owner to step straight into competition.
A comprehensive North Sails inventory (2020–2024) supports her race programme, including a new mainsail and A2 added in 2024, ensuring competitive sail shape and longevity for the seasons ahead.
Systems & Equipment
Water ballast is a key feature of Mary’s offshore capability, with 2 × 300-litre tanks, centrally snorkel-filled and controlled from the cockpit, providing effective righting moment when sailing short-handed. Her NKE Gyro Pilot system with dual pilots delivers excellent steering performance in demanding offshore conditions.
Power is provided by a Volvo D1-20F with approximately 605 engine hours, paired with a Gori Racing propeller for efficient propulsion under power and minimal drag under sail. Electrical systems have been upgraded with 2 × 130Ah lithium service batteries, improving reliability and weight distribution.
Condition & Compliance
Mary is OSR Category 2 compliant, with liferaft serviced in February 2024, making her suitable for a wide range of offshore events. She was freshly coated with Nautix T4 Speed antifouling in June 2025, ensuring a fast and fair underwater profile for the current season.
