Active Again
Active Again is a Humphreys 54 built by Hakes Marine in New Zealand and launched in late 2010. This full carbon yacht features a lifting keel and recently raced in the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race.
Active Again raced in the 2019 Sydney Hobart. Previously, when she was known as KLC Bengal 7, her racing history includes a 58th place finish in 2016, a retirement due to mainsail damage in 2015 and a 12th place finish in 2012. The yacht has been actively campaigned in Japan and Asia, achieving numerous victories.
Kerin has a strong racing background herself, having competed in the 2016 and 2015 Rolex Sydney Hobarts with her previous DK46, Dekadence. In 2016, she finished 53rd overall, earning the Jane Tate Memorial Trophy as the first female skipper to finish, a special achievement for her and her husband, Stephen, who are both originally from Tasmania.
