BADPAK – Botin 56 by King MarineTurnkey Grand Prix Racing Yacht |n San Diego, California
Veteran San Diego Yacht Broker is proud to present BADPAK, an exceptional Botin 56 built by the renowned King Marine shipyard—one of the most successful, professionally maintained, and race-proven offshore racing yachts available anywhere in the world today.
Designed for speed and optimized for victory, BADPAK offers a rare opportunity to acquire a fully developed, turnkey Grand Prix racing program without the time, expense, and uncertainty of building new. Whether your ambitions include the Transpac, Pacific Cup, Caribbean circuit, Mediterranean regattas, or premier offshore events worldwide, BADPAK is prepared to compete at the highest level from day one.
A consistent winner against world-class competition, BADPAK has earned an impressive record of victories, including San Diego Yacht Club's coveted Boat of the Year Award, a Transpac Class Championship, and numerous overall race wins throughout the Pacific and West Coast racing circuits.
The yacht benefits from continuous professional maintenance and recent upgrades, including:
- New soft decking in the cockpit
- New deck covering throughout
- Dry-sailed and meticulously maintained
- Carbon rig and standing rigging recently removed, inspected, serviced, and re-installed
- Sailing winches upgraded to 100% electric operation for immediate sail handling and precise trim control
- Near-perfect faired racing bottom
- Advanced sail control systems
- State-of-the-art navigation, electronics, routing, and performance systems
Every detail has been refined to maximize speed, reliability, and crew efficiency, providing a platform capable of competing for podium finishes and overall victories anywhere in the world—at a fraction of the cost of commissioning a new Grand Prix race yacht.
