CAPRICORNO is a masterpiece of Design and Technology, going from a stripped-down racer to a luxurious, go-anywhere performance cruiser, thanks to her restyling by Nauta Design. This 78’ sailing thoroughbred is one of several rare yachts on the market today that can boast both a series of wins in some of the world’s most competitive regattas and a history of worldwide cruising.
CAPRICORNO started her life as a pure racer called Morning Glory, one of the first yachts to be built in pre-preg carbon. In her first life she earned an excellent pedigree by winning the Sydney-Hobart and the Cape Town-Rio amongst many other prestigious regattas. CAPRICORNO, with both the mast and rigging in carbon fibre, CAPRICORNO also features a set of 2021-22 sails by NORTH SAILS in 3di, a new bulb and a new rudder blade.
CAPRICORNO has been victorious in many regattas, she also impressively set a record at the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers of 11 days and 5 hours in 2006, which went undefeated for many years.She wonthis year and last year the Mini Maxi in Sardinia and the 2022 IMA Mediterranean Maxi Inshore Challenge.
