July, from Facebook, "A fast boat, for peanuts, less than 80K? Why not the Volvo Ocean 60 TOKIO II designed by John Swarbrick. John is the New Zealand designer of the highly successful America’s Cup Kookaburra series!!!! This VO60 did not take part in this race. TOKIO II was one of two yachts built for the race and at the time was considered to be the most radical yacht of this class over design. Since then she has led an active life. In her current ownership, she is been based in Helsinki with an ongoing preventative maintenance programme. She competed in the Volvo Legends Race and continues to run as a successful charter business."
For Sale, TOKIO II was built in New Zealand by Marten Marine for the 1993/94 Whitbread Race and Whitbread 60 later became the Volvo Open 60 class. The yacht did not take part in this race. TOKIO II was one of two yachts built for the race and at the time was considered to be the most radical yacht of this class over design. Since then she has led an active life. In her current ownership, she has been based in Helsinki and subject to ongoing refits and a preventative maintenance programme. She has recently competed in the Volvo Legends Race and continues to run as a successful charter business. She is a great platform to continue with this, or perhaps to enter the Ocean Globe Race in the Classic division and give her a second chance to go around the world!
