Inside the electric TP52 being sailed two-handed

Ocean Crusaders J-Bird is not your typical TP52.

It's being sailed two-handed in the 2022 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, up against 11 fully-crewed TP52s. 

The boat is also powered by electric batteries and has nine solar panels on deck as co-owners Ian and Annika Thomson, who are husband and wife, share an important environmental message.

Watch the video above for a tour of this unique TP52.
