BLACK JACK 100 was originally constructed as ALFA ROMEO in 2005. Designed by Reichel/Pugh – to the brief of being as close to the 30m maximum LOA set at the time for the Sydney – Hobart and Fastnet races.

She was constructed by McConaghy and was one of the most technologically advanced yachts to be built, using pre-preg and high modulus carbon laminates, a blend of nomex and corecell core and high level engineering for the canting keel mechanism.

The yacht stormed through the record books, setting line honour records in most of the world’s most prestigious yacht races. She sold to Europe in 2009 and was renamed ESMIT EUROPA and continued to dominate big boat racing for the next 5 years. She was purchased and taken to Australia by the current owner, who has committed to a continuous and comprehensive optimisation programme to keep the yacht contemporary and the fastest and most competitive line honours yacht on the planet.
