Just a quick update from the Bella boys in Newport. The hull has been popped from the mold! We will have more on this soon.
So far, everyone is pleased with the progress.
On the sailing side, we will be chartering a TP 52 for Key West. We are looking forward to getting back together and sailing again. The first sailing on the 52 will be a training session in December. We will use this first session to become familiar with the boat and starting to figure out who goes where. More to come on this subject along with a crew list.
About Bella Mente
The original Bella Mente Racing campaign kicked off in 2006 with Key West Race Week, and since then owner and skipper Hap Fauth has had three additional racing yachts in the program.
Launched in September of 2018, the current Bella Mente is a Maxi 72 designed by Botin Partners in Spain and built by New England Boatworks in Rhode Island.
