Whitbread 60 Blueprint, formerly Intrum Justitia was built in 1992 for the 1993/4 Whitbread Around the World Race.
Skippered by Lawrie Smith, from the second leg onward, she came 2nd and walked away with an impressive new world record, for the number of miles sailed by a monohull yacht in 24 hours - 428.7 miles!
Today she has a commercial licence, granted by the MCA (Maritime Coastguard Agency) to work commercially carrying up to 12 passengers up to 60 miles offshore - CAT 2 Coding.
