Formerly Cougar II and Highfield Caringbah, this Farr designed, Cookson NZ built TP 52 was purchased by the Fifty Two Hundred Syndicate in early 2017. The yacht has had extensive upgrade and optimization work completed, as well as adding  a complete new sail wardrobe manufactured by Ian Short Sails from Sydney.

The boat competed as Highfield Caringbah in last year's Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race and finished a credible second to Matt Allen's new Ichi Ban in Division 1 IRC and also 3rd overall.
The owners and experienced Offshore racing crew are looking forward to this years Noakes Sydney Gold Coast and hoping to continue their form from last year.
