Description

Whisper (ex-Jethou) is on the market and now available for handover in Europe. The 2009 62ft Judel/Vrolijk flyer has always been near the top of the IRC/ORC fleet, while recently her upgrades have been more ‘offshore focused’. Being substantially bigger than a TP52, she offers greater comfort offshore, while being smaller then a Maxi72, logistics and expenses are somewhat more manageable…… Whisper could be the perfect answer for you!


A full carbon build with a newer generation rig and foil package (deeper draft etc.) and an upgraded electronics package, Whisper is ready for her new owner and team to take on some of the world’s top regattas.
