The carbon fibre Aera is on the register of the Royal Yacht Squadron but carries a Greek sail number.  Since being launched, the powerful 55-footer has won the 2003 IRC Nationals and the 2003 Cowes Week in the UK, and sailed in the Spanish team at the 2003 Admiral's Cup in which she was second highest scoring boat. 

This year she has competed in Key West Race Week, Antigua Sailing Week and the Newport to Bermuda Race. The crew features Fastnet and round-the-world sailors including Jez Fanstone.
