Maritimo expressed their cheer for the new dates of Southport Yacht Club's event, Bartercard Sail Paradise Regatta. It allows them to take part in this spirited Southeast Queensland yacht regatta which is now on the King's Birthday long weekend (Saturday 30th September 2023 to Monday 2nd October 2023).

"Maritimo fully supports Southport Yacht Club's initiative of Bartercard Sail Paradise's new date, allowing us to participate in both the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and this premier event. We are competing up and down the east coast of Australia, but the Gold Coast is still the best, and we are thrilled to be part of the SYC's effort to support and grow the local offshore fleet. Looking forward to competing!" - Michael Spies, Maritimo Skipper.

The yacht, Maritimo is designed by Reichel Pugh and the most competitive of the early generation TP52s winning the inaugural World Championships. It has undergone a major optimisation at the Maritimo facility. It will be driven hard by the same team that enjoyed success with the previous Maritimo 54.

Let's come and watch together this prestigious event to celebrate the beauty of sailing and be amazed by the colours, skill and thrilling action!
