Is outsider a tp52, old platoon?, or the Elliott 52? Ger 52 is platoons number I thought.

The new Juak K Imoca 60 Arkea Paprec is doing the Fastnet according to this story. With Vincent Riou onboard. Will be interesting to see how this new Imoca boat performs?

Yes it should be the old platoon , they took second in their class with the J/V 52 in the 2018 Offshore Worlds in The Hague.

Nice to see Matthews in. Is 33 a record for the sequence of race boats? Yeoman didn’t get past the teens did she?

Ed, you're way out, Yeoman equal on XXXIII !

But the Yeoman's span 3 generations, while Richard Matthews did it on his own. Good on him to be going again in the Fastnet.

Yeoman XXXIII is a J109. All the Yeomans have been owned by Aishers. The current line by David Aisher. Brian Benjamin was the charterer of the boat at KWRW 09.
