I think it looks good. Nonskid in the cockpit looks weirdly dirty for a fresh paint job but it’s probably just in need of a wash.

You could put that tp52 on a trailer … move it to the beach, hollow out the deck with a saw , add a few umbrellas and turn it into a nice beamy beach bar
No boat that ends up needing that much re-fit came at the "right price".
Especially when you end up with a "cruising" boat that draws 11'

Is not the Osaka-Melbourne doublehanded race, is what this boat is intended for? I don't think the deep draft matters for that.

Has the God of TP 52s ever weighed in on this thread?

This boat was, as I understand it, a case of the woman involved, Annika, deciding that the derelict boat was hers to resurrect, was going to be resurrected as a fast performance cruiser that went racing sometimes, with an electric drive to prove it could be done, and she wouldn't take no as an answer.
One gets the impression that when Annika wants it done, it gets done. Good on her, the boat is far better than it was new. These folks worked their guts out on this boat and good on them.
A new boat would likely have been cheaper, but that wasn't the point at all. Look at the folks that look after the J boats. Same idea, but on a smaller scale.

This makes the whole racing with an electric Motor seem more sensible.

I don't understand how they're planning to qualify for the Sydney to Hobart. They've said on Facebook that the crew is doing qualifying races on other people's boats which would satisfy the crew requirement for the double handed division, but doesn't the boat need to have done a 150nm+ qualifying race in 2022?
Gorn FRANTIC!!

Doesn't need to be a race, it can be a continuous passage instead of, so the delivery down to Sydney for the race will count as their qualification I imagine.

Seriously calm for a double reefed main???

was just thinking the opposite: seriously huge amount of sail area for a couple's cruiser.

Yes, but if they have the proper rigging set-up, two people should be able to adjust how much canvas is up to suit the conditions, no?
