Destroyer is a 2005, Bruce Far designed TP52 that was built in New Zealand by Cookson Boats of carbon fiber epoxy pre-preg with a Nomex core sandwich construction. Foam coring was used up forward in the "slamming areas" for added strength.
Vacuum-bagged throughout with carbon/foam infused interior structure. with monocoque type construction forward of the mast.
The interior arrangement has been simplified to its racing functionality. The resulting weight savings was used to congregate weight centrally in the boat to reduce pitching inertia and allow some exchange of volumes between appendages and hull.
Destroyer was built to ABS Offshore Racing Guidelines and is one of the few TP52s that is set up for offshore racing. This has been proven time and again with 3 Transpacs, Cabo, Ensenada and So Cal 300 races under her belt.
Deck was completely redone in 2018-2019 with all stanchions and push-pits removed, sanded and painted. The Harken winches were serviced as well as all of the deck hardware removed prior to paint. A new non-skid deck was sprayed on and the cockpit received soft SeaDek flooring. All inspection ports in the cockpit and the deck prisms were either repaired or replaced.
The engine is a Yanmar 40 HP (4JH4E) diesel sail-drive. The lower sail-drive unit was replaced in June of 2018. Engine overhaul n Spring of 2019 included new fuel lines, heat exchanger and exhaust manifold along with the servicing of all filter etc.Destroyer has a bronze 2-blade folding Gori propeller. Current engine house as of August 2019 are:
Destroyer has been outfitted and updated with all of the latest safety equipment needed for offshore racing
We raced Destroyer in the 2019 Transpac and finished 3 in Class A beating all of the Sleds boat for boat. During the race we regularly saw boat speeds in the 18 to mid 20 kts. range with our top speed going down the swells in the Molokai Channel hitting 26 kts. of boat speed. She was a wet ride on deck, but fairly dry down below because we spent a lot of time prior to the race in what I would call "water control management". Biggest thing during the race was the constant noise down below. At high speed the boat literally hums and with the constant trimming of sheets, you don't get a lot of sound sleep. Still in all would not trade the experience for anything. Regards, Jim Bailey, Owner.
Nice Cushion!
very impressive!
A perfect liveaboard, so comfy...
I love these retro tours. Scott's knowledge is outstanding.
pro trick: you can watch series at Flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.
I just found my new favorite boat channel.
Love these classic boat reviews! Keep them coming!
Love this video series. Keep 'em coming!
count on it!
Love watching these from aus hope they keep on going
Great Job Scot! Excellent production, good energy and knowledge.
Very cool boat. Great review!
Experts insight on sailing that's what we waiting for when Season start's😁
I just discovered Scott and this channel and am loving it. Scott - you do an amazing job. Please don’t stop and let’s work through all the cool one design classes from the past 3-4 decades. Great work!
thank you!
I grew up on a hinckley 41, so I have a love for traditional boats. Comfort and style was their priority. If you do a traditional boat tour, its a nice ones to do.
awesome review.
Loving the nav station! 😳
Very cool TP52. I believe she is a sister of a TP52 we have in Seattle called Sonic.
Amazing
thanks!
More retro boat videos!
Nav station = ‘80’s video game.
Mighty Merloe was launched in 2004: Metro Boat
Destroyer from 2005: Retro Boat
Blame the video guys!!!
right on Scot!
These are so well produced !! I am surprised it does get that many views.
Amazing boat and if you remember for giving you the link for that 56 footer from portugal it was the boat that juan Carlos had before this tp52
OUTSTANDING AGAIN!! Im a retired Middle school teacher. In winters Im a ski instructor in Utah. Summers I spend in SoCal with my Brother in Encinitas and in Laguna beach. Working on Balboa Island. I sailed A LOT as a kid. Lasers, J24s, 5O5s, Farr 37. etc....I'd LOVE to find a boat on which to crew next summer
Hi Scott, Love you content!! I did search and try to figure this out but can't. When a boat like this wins the Transpac, what's it's average speed ? Any other details that you, the anarchy spreading sailing encyclopedia, would want to bestow upon this pollywog?
ty
Great look at a beautiful boat. (Would have liked to have seen some detail concerning that big flat boom and its gooseneck attachment.)
really should have - damnit!
Fairly sure all the TP52's in Australia with the possible exception of Hooligan are setup for offshore?
Great insight and knowledge dude......I dig how you get in to the real sailing technology, not just "how big is the settee". It's really good work on your part and your crew. I can't believe you dont have way more subs and likes. Will you be snorkeling soon? lol
Hello Scott - Thank you, Terrific, enjoyable series.
Really like the retro / vintage yachts.
Question, we sailed an Aussie Yacht, - Nyamba, Clipper Cup 1980 - to San Diego that year
for sale.
Wondering if you know of the yacht, and or if still sailing in the area.
San Diego and the Islands were terrific sailing, cheers 🇦🇺😊
so cool man.i don't know the wherabouts of her.
ahh my home port port of los angeles
Scott you should try to get onboard “Tatoosh.” She’s an 80 foot Ketch designed by Ben Seaborn and built by Vic Franck for the Boeing family. Used to Peter Fonda’s boat too. I think she’s somewhere in Coronado.
We @noblemansailingmedia did a video on it a few years ago ua-cam.com/video/sKv1eQAog4c/v-deo.html
@@SailingAnarchyUSA Ah, gotcha. I have seen that video before and enjoyed it. Thought your full Retro Boat vid format would be sweet on this. Thanks!
@@samhansen527 we're doing a Kettenberg in the coming weeks. I can ask about Tatoosh
@@SailingAnarchyUSA those and the PCs are beautiful boats. I’ve spent a fair amount of time at SDYC. Enjoy these vids!
@@samhansen527 thank you! we also did a video on the pc fleet ua-cam.com/video/Z2EyiD1hOzg/v-deo.html
can you do a maxi 72 next
Did this sell?
Olson 29 or 30 please
TP52s have a forestay not a headstay.
Scot - that nav station setup just makes no sense as you describe it. You sure there’s no chair or cradle to keep the Navi intact when they’re humming along in breeze? Who’s usually doing nav on Destroyer?
I think Pete isler does Nav for them a lot. He just uses remote desktop on a windows tablet and can run expedition from anywhere on the boat.
Nope, the Navigator had a pad that he sat on or slept on when he tried to sleep. He tucked a spinnaker behind him for back support once we hit the trades. Jib Kelly has been out navigator since we bought the boat in the Fall of 2017.
@@jimbailey8552 my mistake, I think i remember him on your boat for Cabo 2019. I might have interpolated too much out of that. awesome boat though.
@@louietuey Your right, Peter did navigate the Cabo Race for us as well as doing some prep work with Jib in prep for Transpac 2019.
should be navy haze gray
Tell me more about these “shittin’ bags”
The wallet Destroyer imagine a trip to North sails that's why the owner has a cushion ouch!
It looks like a trick one trick pony.
no way! with this boat, you can do any kind of racing.
