Main Description Boat History  "Triple Jack" is a 47-foot trimaran designed by the renowned naval architect Derek Kelsall and constructed in 1979 using foam-core GRP by her first owner, Frank Wood. She made her racing debut in the 1981 Two-Handed Trans-Atlantic Race (TWOSTAR), but unfortunately suffered a dismasting 190 miles before the finish. Wood attempted another transatlantic race in the 1984 OSTAR (Observer Single-Handed Trans-Atlantic Race), which also ended in a dismasting. pbo.co.ukIn the late 1990s, Richard Wooldridge and Steve Davis of Exmouth, UK, acquired "Triple Jack" and sailed her to the Caribbean, where she became a prominent competitor in the regional multihull racing scene. She secured victories in major Northeast Caribbean regattas over 26 years, including Les Voiles de St. Barth, the St. Martin Heineken Regatta, and the BVI Spring Regatta. triplejackbvi.comOn September 6, 2017, Hurricane Irma devastated the British Virgin Islands, causing severe damage to "Triple Jack." The storm tore her from her mooring, leading to multiple impacts that left her upside down on a concrete bridge, with a broken mast, crushed coach roof, and detached sponsons. sail-world.comUndeterred, Richard and Steve embarked on an extensive six-year rebuild at Nanny Cay Marina. They took the opportunity to modernize and strengthen the vessel, incorporating a new carbon mast and boom, composite chainplates, Dyneema standing rigging, a redesigned coach roof, and, for the first time, an inboard diesel engine. The restoration was a community effort, with friends and family contributing, often working on Sundays. pbo.co.uk"Triple Jack" was relaunched in March 2023 and made a triumphant return to racing by competing in the 2024 RORC Caribbean 600. This marked her return to ocean racing after a 39-year hiatus since the 1984 OSTAR. She completed the race with an impressive elapsed time of 3 days, 6 hours, 40 minutes, and 24 seconds. facebook.comOwner's Comments  "Triple Jack" is not just a vessel; she embodies a legacy of resilience and passion for offshore racing.
