This VO60 was built as a trainingboat for the Yamaha Team with Skipper Ross Field who won the Volvo Ocean Race in 1993/94.
When the current owner bought the boat she was completly refitted in Kiel in 2005, with a modern (very light) interior.
She has only sailed three regatas/year for the last two years. She is well maintained and in good condition.
