The ship to Antigua arrived this week and Bella Mente Racing’s containers, cradle and Maxi 72 namesake were all loaded yesterday. It was relatively windy during the loading but all went smoothly. The ship is also carrying Jethou and a couple of TP 52s.
Next up for the team is the RORC Caribbean 600, which kicks off February 22 in Antigua.
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.
