About
Launched in spring 2012, Bella Mente is the 2nd racing yacht built for owner Hap Fauth. This latest Mini Maxi is 72 feet long and was designed by judel/vrolijk & co yachtdesign. Built by New England Boatworks, Bella’s features include a Hall Spars mast, Southern Spars eC6 carbon rigging, running rigging supplied by T-E-C (TRABAJOS EN CABOS S.L.)/MARLOW MGP series, a winch package from Harken, hydraulics from Navtec and Cariboni, and sails built by North Sails.
2012 will be a busy year for the Bella Mente team. Consisting of sailors from the US, Europe, and New Zealand, the crew plans on launching the boat on the US Coast in time for the Block Island Race and Newport to Bermuda. From Bermuda, the boat will go to Europe and compete in several regattas. 2012 will end “Down Under” with the Sydney Hobart Race.
Keep up with the team by following the Bella Mente blog, Facebook, and Twitter.
