Overview
Furiosa is a great example of the evergreen Cookson 50 design, that has been turning heads on the race course longer than just about any other design out there.Formerly known as "Camilla", she has lived in Scandinavia for most of her years, as well as latterly racing in the Med and some iconic RORC races.
She is the Turbo-charged version with taller mast, deep keel and benefits from a large sail wardrobe update in 2022.
A fine example of these brilliant, offshore orientated yachts.

Spars & Rigging
In 2010 she was equipped with a new, taller Hall Spars mast and boom, as the Cookson 50 was considered a little under powered, with all the top yachts having this upgrade undertaken.
Results since then have seen an overwhelming improvement in performance and the "turbo" version is now considered the only option to have.
