Team Daedalus
The Team Bullimore racing yacht Daedalus was designed for long distance ocean-racing by the world famous naval architect Nigel Irens. Daedalus was the first boat to break the 500 mile a day barrier and held the prestigious Jules Verne round the world sailing record of 74 days, 22 hours and 18 minutes. The yacht has recently undergone a major refit when modifications to improve boat performance and the overall speed were carried out. Last year, Tony Bullimore, with a world class crew, set two Atlantic sailing records, ratified by the WSSRC (World Sailing Speed Record Council), the Gomero, Canary Islands, to Port St Charles, Barbados and the Montego Bay, Jamaica, to Lands End, United Kingdom. Capable of speeds up to 40 kts, Daedalus will have a competitive edge when competing in the Oryx Quest 2005 non stop round the world race.
