Secret Mens Business 3
Secret Mens Business 3 is a brand new Reichel/Pugh 47 that will make her ocean-racing debut at the Audi Sydney Gold Coast race. She was officially launched in Melbourne in early July for Adelaide yachtsman Geoff Boettcher.
Secret Mens Business 3 is a development of Beau Geste, the Reichel /Pugh design for prominent HK yachtsmen Karl Kwok. “It’s a beamy boat, with a little degree of chine like that on the latest Chutzpah and with a personalised interior developed from my previous boats,” as Boettcher told OffShore Yachting.
Geoff has chosen the Audi Sydney Gold Coast to debut his latest yacht, describing it as a “Hobart Race that goes north and gets warmer all the time.”
Boettcher commissioned his third Secret Mens Business to replace the boat that was severely damaged in a collision on the first day of the 2007 Hamilton Island Race Week.
