Designed by Farr and built by Goetz (USA) for the US and European TP52 regattas, KOA was one of the best TP52’s to hit the circuit. Sistership to, and built alongside two-time Hobart winner ‘Quest’, KOA is arguably one of the best TP52’s of this age series on the market. Professionally maintained, with complete Cat 1 offshore inventory, and strengthened and waterproofed to compete in some of the toughest offshore races including the Transpac, Middle Sea Race (winning overall), China Sea race and multiple Rolex Sydney Hobart Races. KOA will appeal to those looking to step up into a race ready and competitive TP52 and will delight the most fastidious buyer. Inspections a must.
