Victor Wild’s Fox 2.0 represents the latest in TP52 design development, but tweaked to be more competitive for mixed inshore/offshore handicap racing. Coupled with the latest in foil, rig and deck technologies, the new Fox 2.0 an effective inshore and short offshore racing platform employing the best features of both disciplines.

She arrived in the US on schedule from Spain with a full summer of racing planned in Newport to prepare for the Worlds, but when this was canceled the boat was sent to the Great Lakes to race among a small circuit of ex-Super Series and ex-Pac 52s that have steadily migrated there to new homes. This attractive Great Lakes mini-circuit includes two regattas and a long race in Harbor Springs, Michigan, with some also taking in the 200-mile upwind Bayview-Mackinac Race in place of the longer Chicago-Mac Race which was also canceled. Fox 2.0 will later head back east for the rescheduled New York YC Regatta and the club’s rescheduled Rolex Race Week in September, followed by a possible stop in Annapolis for the ORC East Coast Championship before heading to south Florida for the offshore races of the SORC.

We did not slow anything down simply for rating purposes, but focused on what will make this boat as fast as possible.
