Ten TP52’s, including the defending champions Quantum Racing (USA) and 2007 winners Artemis (SWE), will compete for the TP52 World title starting in one week’s time off Palma, Mallorca.

It will be business as usual aboard eight of the ten which are regulars on the Audi MedCup Circuit, but the fleet will be welcoming two crews new to TP52 class racing in the shape of France’s Paprec Recyclage (formerly the 2007 launch Judel/Vrolijk design Artemis) and Great Britain’s Henri- Lloyd Weapon of Choice (formerly the 2007 launched Judel/Vrolijk Matador).

Britain’s Henri- Lloyd Weapon of Choice have composed a talented line up of British sailors including round the world racer, 18 foot skiff and International 14 winner Rob Greenhalgh.

Racing at the TP52 World Championships starts with the official practice race on Tuesday 6 October and finishes on Sunday 11 October. The regatta follows the same pattern as the typical Audi MedCup Circuit event with one coastal race set to run on Friday.
