The Office is a new yacht built of unidirectional glass and foam sandwich by John McConaghy. She is designed by Joe Adams and is similar to Helsal II but with a centreboard. She is untried, and her performance against Spirit of Queensland (Helsal II) will give an indication of her future potential. She is bound to be very fast downwind, as Adams boats are, and with America's Cup tactician Hugh Trehane aboard she is bound to be off to a good start.
