Numerous 2008 upgrades include: New topsides with Imron ?Luminous Yellow?; refaired keel and bulb; new barrier coat and sprayed white ZO-HP racing bottom; and a new clear finish over the carbon mast. Check out the new photos! And keep checking back - more will be added as we get them.
Ocean Planet was custom built for America?s premier solo sailor, Bruce Schwab. Ocean Planet and Bruce Schwab were the first Americans to officially finish the solo Vendee Globe non-stop Around the World Race, the most grueling race on the planet. She did this after taking Bruce safely around the globe in the Around Alone Race. With its incredibly strong and forgiving freestanding rig, Ocean Planet would make the perfect boat for the sailor trying to break into the world of Grand Prix solo ocean racing. Own a piece of sailing history! The owner is ready to sell and is open to all offers. We have tons of photos - contact us if you would like to see them!
