Secret Mens Business 3 has had a hull modification since last year’s race. The newly configured yacht has now become Secret Mens Business 3.5 (SMB3.5), Reichel Pugh yacht designers making improvements to correct upwind performance.  With a slightly larger sail plan and waterline length, SMB 3.5 should be able to hang onto the TP52s for the trip down the coast.  With a strong crew list, the yacht should be able to achieve a favourable result for the skipper.
