Farr Yacht Design’s latest launch is the new BEAU GESTE, an 80 foot offshore-oriented racer/cruiser. Owner Karl Kwok and project manager Gavin Brady came to FYD to develop a design with the capability to race offshore with a limited crew size and also provide its crew with a level of comfort greater than what is expected on the latest breed of all-out large ocean racers. BEAU GESTE was built at Cookson Boats, with the spar built by Southern Spars. BEAU GESTE has a lifting keel to permit a deep sailing draft and also provide the ability to access docking accommodations. As with other modern ocean racers, BEAU GESTE boasts a moderately high beam and low displacement to ensure excellent offshore performance, particularly reaching. The hull shape was developed from our recent successful experiences with offshore yachts, including Volvo 70’s and Open 60’s. In particular, a plumb stem and immersed transom maximize effective length. Hull chines maximize dynamic stability in hard reaching conditions. Special consideration was given to balancing the fullness of the bow with the depth and immersion of the transom to optimize performance across a range of boatspeeds and ensure the bow lifts at higher speeds.

Below the waterline, the keel draws 5.6 meters, and is hydraulically lifted to a draft of 4.0 meters for access to shallower water. The hydraulic cylinder allows for simple ‘push button’ lifting and lowering of the keel. The keel is fabricated steel construction with a low drag and low center of gravity T-keel style lead bulb. Twin rudders, as per latest technology Volvo 70’s and Open 60’s, ensure that maximum control can be maintained in upwind and hard reaching conditions. As the boat heels, the leeward-side rudder is fully immersed and becomes more upright, ensuring maximum efficiency and allowing for small rudders and reduced surface area. The rudders are connected to each other and the twin steering wheels by a rigid crossbar system that allows for adjustment of helm load and rudder setup.

What sets BEAU GESTE apart from most large ocean racing boats is a more extensive interior accommodation and features above deck that allow for a smaller crew size. The interior features three enclosed cabins, including a large double cabin forward for the owner. These cabins are separated from the central sailing area of the boat to ensure that they are comfortable and clear of sailing gear when cruising, or in-port between races. The mast is deck-stepped, which minimizes intrusion into the interior around the mast, and minimizes the amount of water that can get below when sailing offshore. Aft of the mast, seven pairs of pipe berths allow for functional accommodations during offshore races. The galley includes refrigeration and microwave, and is located on the starboard side of the boat and provides plenty of working space for meal preparation. The cabin table allows the crew to sit down and enjoy a meal. The machinery space utilizes sound insulation to allow the crew to sleep easily. Aft, a generous navigation station has room for two people to work and a second companionway provides a second path to the interior and plenty of ventilation.

'...total originality in yacht design has become more difficult to attain following Jon Bannenberg’s masterful levels of creative daring.' - “I don’t want to lead everything back to my dad — but it’s well known and accepted that, whether it’s his big round windows, or certain lines, or a way of treating wings on a superstructure, they all inspired many people and I think that’s fair game. I think all people’s design processes, whether subliminal or not, are recalling something — whether it’s something that’s stirred, or triggered something, or sparked an idea, or an unintentional homage to someone.” - Dickie Bannenberg talks of yacht design and his father Jon Bannenberg's groundbreaking work.

Invisible Hand: This Pac 52 racer sees the TP52 class return to its offshore roots

• February 4, 2020

Invisible Hand one of a new generation of 52-footers that represents a return to the offshore roots of the TP52 class, and a resurgence of level-rating grand prix racing on the west coast of the US. Erik Simonson reports

The original Transpac 52 Class ( TP52 ) left an indelible mark on US west coast sailing, but the few that were left racing in California represented a wide range of vintages and race only under handicap. The launch of the Pac 52, a new offshore-specified 52ft class, in 2017 was an attempt to recapture some of that TP spirit and get level rating grand prix racing started up again in California.

The TP52 story began in 2000, when a contingent of Californian sailors sought a new racing class, something smaller than the 70ft sleds that had been surfing their way to victory in the 2,225-mile LA-Honolulu Transpac Race for the previous two decades. They were after a planing design of about 50ft that was simple to sail, could handle round-the-cans races and scoot across the Pacific in a hurry.

The Transpac Yacht Club, which organises the biennial race, proposed a new class to a few local naval architects, including teams from Alan Andrews Yacht Design, Nelson Marek and Reichel/Pugh. The club settled on a 52ft box rule concept, and enlisted designer Bill Lee to help form the rule. Their aim was to have new boats on the start line of the 2001 Transpac Race: the TP52 was launched.

For the following five years there was glory aplenty for west coast TP52s both inshore and offshore, including trans-Pacific races. But the TPs evolved rapidly, adopting square-topped mains and bowsprits. The first generation boats aged quickly as the costs of remaining competitive spiralled, and with no formal organisation or class association, west coast orders slowed.

In Europe, however, the Mediterranean circuit had surged in popularity. By 2006 the Audi TP52 MedCup had become the pinnacle of grand prix racing, with the original offshore element set aside in favour of hardcore inshore racing. The boats got stiffer, lighter and faster. They were largely built in Europe and sailed with European professional crews. If you wanted to race TP52s on a level rating, the Med was the place to be.

Enter the ‘core of four’: American owners Manouch Moshayedi, Victor Wild, Frank Slootman and Tom Holthus. These founding members banded together to form the Pac 52 Class Association, primarily to bring grand prix level rating racing back to the west coast of the USA. Although each owner comes from a slightly different yacht racing background, they all wanted to eliminate the handicap element in the new class.

Veedol: On board Yoann Richomme’s record-breaking Lift 40

A curious pattern repeated in the 2018 Route du Rhum, as the newest designs – like the foiling Ultimes, and…

The first Pac 52 started life as a new 52-footer for Beau Geste Racing team. When Manouch Moshayedi, owner of the 100-footer Rio , heard that a new Beau Geste was in build at Cookson Boats in Auckland, he contacted Victor Wild, who was also keen to get into some grand prix level racing.

With the tooling already in place, a second boat could be built cost-effectively (now sailing as Wild’s Fox ). If they bulk ordered material and found a couple of other perspective owners, they could save even more and have the nucleus of a new class. The Pac 52 Class was born.

The association was formed with three main elements at its core: a level rating class rule; cost effectiveness; and a mutually agreed schedule. The boats are intended to be lighter and faster than the Super Series TP52s (the current crop of TP52s that race on a purely inshore circuit including the Med, Miami and Key West) but capable of racing offshore and costing much less. Getting into the class with a new boat can come in between US$1.8-2.2 million, compared to a Super Series boat at about $3 million (£2.32 million).

Four of the Pac 52s were built at Cookson’s, the sole exception being Moshayedi’s Rio , which was built at Premier Composite Technologies in Dubai. Rio utilised the existing plug made for Super Series boat Platoon, a Judel/Vrolijk design, while Provezza (another Judel/Vrolijk Super Series design) provided the mould for Beau Geste, which in turn led to Fox , Invisible Hand and Bad Pak . Theoretically any of the recent Super Series moulds would work, with a deeper keel and taller rig added.

While Beau Geste , Fox and Rio are set up for inshore racing, Invisible Hand and Bad Pak opted for an offshore package. By modifying the Vrolijk deck and adding 150mm freeboard to the bow and 125mm to the stern, Mick Cookson created enough room to allow crawling access to the aft cockpit bunks and make space for a navigator. The two offshore boats have removable galleys and bunks, and can carry watermakers.

The hull of the Pac 52 has a core of foam. The deck has a honeycomb core, which is a slightly less expensive yet more robust alternative to the Nomex construction of the Super Series sisterships. The offshore-moded Invisible Hand and Bad Pak run lines above deck and have eliminated most through-hull protrusions, making them much dryer. Invisible Hand ’s steering can be switched from wheels to tiller with minimal effort, while Bad Pak ’s owner chose a two-wheel configuration.

One of the biggest weight savings was in the engine. Pac 52s have Lombardini 40hp models, which provide a little less power than the Yanmar 57hp models specified for the Super Series TPs, but weigh 100kg less.

The new class sports a 600mm taller mast, which is placed further aft, increasing the J measurement (jib foretriangle). The smaller main improves the Offshore Racing Rule (ORR) rating when competing in non-class events. Brent Rhune, pro bowman on Bad Pak , says this configuration gives the boats increased power at the lower end of the wind scale.

“The Pac 52 starts planing in 14-15 knots, adding an extra gear or two,” he says. For quick-response rig tuning, Pac 52s have hydraulic headstays, mast deflectors and mast-foot adjusters, powered by a hydraulic rotary pump on the aft coffee grinder.

As with the Super Series TPs, the pit area on the inshore-moded Pac 52s is offset to starboard for fast port-hand mark roundings. It is recessed for reduced windage, with control lines run under deck. Photo: Invisible Hand Sailing

“Set-up on the Pac 52 is all-important: rig tune, mast butt [foot] and rake,” adds Rhune. “Figuring out the crossover of leaving the jib up versus taking it down and hoisting the staysail, thus keeping two guys off the bow at the top mark and three guys at the bottom, ends up earning you boat lengths.”

Cost control

Deck gear packages vary. Fox sports an array of top-end Harken ceramic winches, a hydraulic mast ram and forestay, carbon fibre gearing, and aerodynamic coffee grinders. Invisible Hand and Bad Pak carry a more conventional package with corresponding cost savings.

A key aim of the class association is keeping costs realistic, with an owner-driver rule and limit on seven professional sailors per crew. There are also limitations on new sails, use of support RIBs, and a ‘blackout’ period before each regatta to discourage expensive and lengthy pre-regatta training.

Five Pac 52 Class events were scheduled for 2017, the inaugural year, including the Rolex Big Boat Series in September, with a break in the middle to allow the offshore boats some bluewater time.

Brent Rhune says the fleet is living up to its promise from a sailor’s perspective: “The boats are a blast to sail, just like their predecessors. Although we have just five boats at this point, the racing is close, with nose-to-tail mark roundings, lead changes, camping [sitting] on opponents on the beat, and so on.”

Ruben Gabriel, who races on Invisible Hand , says the pro-am ethos of the fleet is also a big draw. “It’s half-pro, half-amateur racing against each other in a very competitive environment. Everything is rapid fire, everything rises another notch. Every action is precise and deliberate; there is no wasted effort.

“Even the pre-race and post-race debriefs are exacting. Sharing stories and hearing tales from the pros is a great learning experience.”

ORC Worlds 2023 - All defending champions at the start: "Beau Geste" registered

With the "Beau Geste" (Karl Kwok/Hong Kong) in category A, all defending champions are now at the start of the ORC World Championship 2023 in Kiel - held from August 4 to 12. In May, the newly crowned European Champion and reigning World Champion also confirmed his participation in the Kiel World Championship.

A total of 121 yachts from 14 nations are registered in the A, B and C classes. In addition to the three reigning World Champion teams from 2022 in Porto Cervo (Italy), all nine medal winners from the 2021 World Championship in Tallinn (Estonia) will also be at the start.

This is likely to be the first time in the history of the ORC World Championship, which has been held annually since 1999, that the reigning gold medalists have gathered to defend their titles at an event in the current year. In Class A this will be Karl Kwok (Hong Kong) with his TP 52 “Beau Geste”, in Class B it will be Catalin Trandafirs (Romania) with his GS 44P “Essentia 44” and in Class C Ott Kikkas (Estonia) with Italia 11.98 “Sugar 3” . Each of them will face strong challenges. There are 14 yachts entered in Class A so far, 33 in Class B, and 74 in Class C. 121 entries – a milestone for an ORC World Championship. The record participation in 2014 ahead of Kiel was 151 yachts. And there are still more than ten weeks until the first warning.

“We are pleased that all defending champions have entered. This is a strong argument in favor of Kiel,” says Head of Organization Eckhardt von der Mosel , who already managed the 2014 ORC World Championship in Kiel.

While the reigning champions as well as the 2021 world champions will try to repeat their successes, there is one team that does not want a repeat. Two-time runner-up “Outsider” (Teichmann/Hansen/Kiel) is going for gold. “Our goal is definitely not to be called perpetual runner-up,” says Bo Teichmann. The 39-year-old project manager has been sailing with “Outsider” owner Tilmar Hansen (KYC/TP 52) for 23 years. After two World Championship silver medals in 2018 behind “Beau Geste” and in 2021 behind Michael Berghorn with his Mills 45 “Halbtrocken 4.5” , they want to avoid the silver triple and have to leave the two gold medal winners and their conquerors of 2018 and 2021 behind to do so. Five other professionals on board, led by Markus Wieser, are expected to help.

The competition is also counting on professionals. Gavin Brady (Annapolis Yacht-Club) is on board with Karl Kwok, who will be sailing under the flag of the British Virgin Islands (BVI) in Kiel. The 49-year-old New Zealander has competed in the Olympics and several America’s Cups. Brady was a tactician aboard “Tag Heuer” in the 1995 Louis Vuitton Cup, helmsman of “Chessie Racing” in the 1997/98 Whitbread Round the World Race, and sailed Olympic campaigns in the Star Boat. “We are really looking forward to coming to Kiel and defending our title. We’ll also enjoy seeing Tilmar and his team again – they’re good friends and rivals, and we love sailing with them in a championship like this,” said Brady, looking toward Kiel’s ORC Worlds.

In addition to the two TP 52s, the 2021 World Champion and 2022 European Champion, Michael Berghorn, is one of the top favorites with his Mills 45. The Hamburg native also has other professional support on board. In addition to tactician Jes Gram Hansen (Denmark), match race specialist Frans Hinelaar (Netherlands) is in the crew of the ”Halbtrocken 4.5″.

Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race 2024

This year represents 20 years since Karl Kwok won the 1997 Sydney Hobart with his new Farr 49 Beau Geste. The Hong Kong businessman is keen to repeat the experience, especially after missing last year when he left this Beau Geste in Gavin Brady’s hands. They finished fifth on line and eighth overall. Kwok last raced to Hobart in 2013 after buying this canting Botin 80 for the classic offshore races, and finished fifth on line behind three super maxis and a V70, leaving a fourth super maxi and the rest in his wake.

The retail giant has won many of the major offshore events around the world with various Beau Gestes. With this latest, won the 2016 Groupama Race around New Caledonia after finishing second on line to Scallywag. An all-carbon canting yacht, it has similar foils to a V70, with daggarboards and features a distinctive black hull and dragon on the mainsail. Team Beau Geste, Karl Kwok’s TP52, won the Australian IRC Championship for a fourth consecutive time (2014-2017). Kwok’s recently bought MOD70, Mod Beau Geste, was second online in the Coastal Classic from Auckland to the Bay of Islands, speaking volumes about the polished crew.

Kiwis help Beau Geste win offshore world title

Click here for Back Issues 

A team stacked full of New Zealand sailors won the offshore sailing world championships at The Hague last weekend.

Karl Kwok’s Pac 52 Beau Geste (Hong Kong) secured the class A title with a day to spare, finishing seven points ahead of Outsider (Germany) with another 19 points back to Van Uden (Netherlands) in third. They won six of the nine races and had the luxury of not having to compete the final race. 

The Beau Geste team was composed mostly of Kiwis and was led by project manager Gavin Brady. The team was: Jim Baxter, Nick Blackman, David Brooke, Chris Cowen, Matt Humphries, Matt Kelway, Patrick Kong, David Lenz, Spencer Loxton, Rob Salthouse, Dave Swete and Jim Williamson.

“Its been a thrilling week of racing here, and we are really pleased with the result,” said Kwok, owner of Team Beau Geste. "The team has worked hard. We were really pushed by Tilmar and his crew [on Outsider], they gave us some great racing." 

Kwok is no stranger to racing in New Zealand and his trimaran Beau Geste was second in last year's Coastal Classic.

Results and standings from the offshore sailing world championships at The Hague last weekend:

1st: Team Beau Geste (Karl Kwok - HKG) 1 2 1 1 1 1 1.5 1 (10 DNC) 9.5 points 2nd: Outsider (Tilmar Hansen - GER) 2 4 (3) 2 2 2 1.5 2 1 - 16.5 pts 3rd: Van Uden (Gerdjan Poortman - NED) 3 6 5 3 (7) 5 3 3.5 7 - 35.5 pts

Editorial reviews.

Of all the talented, groundbreaking composers who busied themselves during Hollywood's golden age, Alfred Newman was perhaps the most powerful, most influential and certainly most insightful. Yet, for all the praise lavished on his vast work as a composer, conductor and administrator, Newman has received scant attention in the recent spate of film-music re-recordings. At least one reason involves the films he scored. Many were top-flight productions in their day, but they now lack the enthusiastic, faithful followings boasted by Warner Bros.' Errol Flynn swashbucklers and Humphrey Bogart film-noir classics, Universal's vintage monster movies and the special effects-packed Ray Harryhausen spectaculars. "What attracts so many people isn't just the music but the film itself," conductor and composer Fred Steiner, foremost expert on Newman's music, lamented in 1996, more than a quarter-century after Newman's death. "Some of the films Alfred Newman scored then don't have drawing power today. Wuthering Heights may be OK, but whoever heard of Beloved Enemy? It's not like the popularity of The Adventures of Robin Hood or Gone with the Wind. Of course, then again, the last thing we all need is another re-recording of Gone with the Wind!" One can also argue that Alfred Newman's wonderful scores have been handicapped by the very fact he so effectively set the tone for much film music of the 1940s and 1950s - literally and figuratively. Although he wrote in a richly romantic idiom that owes much to Richard Strauss, Newman shaped it in such a successful manner that many other composers in Hollywood quietly adopted similar stylistic tendencies (though precious few succeeded in furnishing scores that functioned as well as his). Today long-dead film composers with particularly individualistic styles; Erich Korngold, Bernard Herrmann, Dimitri Tiomkin and Max Steiner spring to mind, cannot help standing out against the standard so firmly set by Newman from his perch as music director at 20th Century-Fox. This may well be why their music - so different from that Hollywood norm - is also given more attention today. In any case, the neglect Newman's film music experiences is unwarranted, especially considering such soaring, swashbuckling scores as Captain from Castile (1947) and Prince of Foxes (1949), religious dramas such as The Song of Bernadette (1943) and The Robe (1953) and gargantuan epics such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939). Considering the huge number of films Newman scored and the quality he sustained till his death in 1970, it's remarkable he approached composing with such reluctance. Yet he did. "Newman worked on a total of 225 films and toward the end admitted that it was too much to have done," author, producer and long-time Newman friend Tony Thomas wrote in Film Score: The View from the Podium. "As a conductor, he was probably the finest ever to work in films. It was what he most loved to do, and the many who played under his baton claim that had circumstances been different, he would most likely have been an outstanding symphonic conductor. Despite his talent as a composer, he did not enjoy the work of sitting and inventing music. A most gregarious man by nature, the loneliness of composing disturbed him, and he admitted he often sat for hours looking at blank music paper before being able to write a note." In an interview on occasion of the recording at hand, veteran film-music orchestrator Arthur Morton echoed this insight concerning Newman's immense talents at the podium, though he also outlined certain preferences: "He was reluctant to do anything outside the studio. When he went to conduct at the Hollywood Bowl, I remember he was a nervous wreck. But inside the studio, in front of an orchestra - and, let's face it, 20th Century-Fox had the best - he was an absolute master. He loved conducting and he was good at it."
