Highly Sprung

 

Highly Sprung is the third yacht and the second with this name owned by legend Mark Spring. She is a Beneteau First 45 and has had a strong race record with previous owner Paul Clitheroe as Balance.

Mark took delivery of Highly Sprung at Hamilton Island 2018 and with a un-balanced crew achieved a third in her IRC division on the first weeks outing. Highly Sprung has recently picked up a first in IRC, ORCI and PHS in the recent 2019 Pittwater to Paradise race.
