The new Super Zero Maxi Ran II, selected Endeavour Quay as a UK base to attack this year’s yacht racing programme. This started with the Channel Race – 1st in Class, 1st Overall. They then competed in the Fastnet Race and won overall. The yacht returned to the yard prior to departure for the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup in Sardinia. Again she won her Class overall. After the Maxi Cup she went on to compete in the Rolex Middle Sea Race where she finished 4th overall.

The experienced America’s Cup and Volvo Ocean Race crew have found the yard to be ideal for their work, with all services and facilities on hand for race yacht preparation.

Captain Anthony Haines stated: “Choosing Endeavour Quay was a great decision as the yard has the deep water we need combined with all the facilities on hand, allowing us to select our preferred contractors”.

Ran ll is now on her way to Sydney for the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race which starts on Boxing Day 2009.
