Put together by Cameron Thorpe (I think)
The first 12m offshore race boat designed by Rob Shaw, build by Craig Partridge Yachts.
Sail Number: 110011 / VHF Call Sign: ZMU2211
Design Objective: to maximise the performance potential of a 12m offshore monohull, with the capacity to sleep a full crew and with a usable interior. This is a versatile boat, set up for high performance racing either short-handed or fully crewed, both harbour and offshore. Blink is built with racing in the infamous Cook Strait in mind, with robust construction and systems, foam core, and options chosen with the wisdom that 'to win you must first finish' in mind: twin rudders, twin hydraulic rams, and dual hydraulic keel power sources (electric and engine pumps).
These numbers are from before the extra 90kg added to bulb in 2019
