As is visible in the picture, we have taken the keel off and are doing a small modification to the boat before the racing starts. Tomorrow will be a full day to get the boat back together and service all the parts. The whole team will be participating with everyone taking on various responsibilities.
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.
