Beau Geste Mod 70 getting some love

[Ladyhawk]

A couple of pics on a lockdown walkabout over the harbour from us, Beaugeste getting some work done. I had heard rumours it was getting many $ worth of lifting foils. Anyone shed any light on whats actually happening to her? Beautiful boat btw...

Just saying but those enclosures are in areas with rudders.

Didn’t this boat used to be Phaedo III that set a bunch of records a few years ago?

Yep.

Great boat.  I miss seeing her skipping off waves in the Caribbean.  Will be interesting to see what is done...

Update: Based on the entry list of the Bermuda Race it's been picked up by a serial west coast yachtsman who is perhaps more impressive in the boardroom than on the water, which is saying something. He's actually an SA'er, but hasn't posted in a long time. Wonder if he can be summoned @ragbag
