The boat has been back in the shed for a weeks now getting finished and fixed from the last sea trial session. The list is long and it had been lots of work by Pirate and his team to get the boat going again. The current plan is to be sailing the boat again by this Sunday. We have quite a bit of stuff to do get the boat race ready. We have to build our confidence in the boat, get familiar with the angles and our sails, get comfortable with all the systems, and get the boat fully ready to race offshore. So stay tuned for a few updates in the coming weeks as we work up the boat and get it race ready.

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.
