TP52 'Grit' (ex Patches II, Pace, Mockingbird etc.)
2007 McConaghy TP 52 Grit is now available. She is a fantastic boat in good order with an incredible track record since she was launched as "Patches II" and is the first TP design with a powerful wide transom. An IRC optimisation in 2011 (while she was ‘Pace’) included a reduced coach roof to improve sheeting angles, new fin and overall IRC adjustment by Jason Ker. Professionally maintained throughout her life (ex-Patches II, Ran, Pace, Heartbreaker & Mockingbird), she is now available as a turnkey option for racing ORC on the Great Lakes, or perhaps even a return home to the UK to join the emerging ‘Classic 52’ Class that is forming. The broker Dave Swete has an intimate knowledge of the boat, having raced her when she was Pace (winning the 2011 UK IRC Nationals and Palma Vela Events) and Mockingbird (1st 52 in the 2019 Chicago Mac Race). Asking Price: $215,000 (£169,138)
