Launched in 2013, ‘Tales II’ is a model that would set a new benchmark for the Class40. Designed by Gonzalo Botin built by Longitudo ‘Tales II’, was a boat ahead of her time and included some fresh thinking in the way forward for Class 40s. Fast and reliable Tales II was the boat to beat in her early seasons of competitive sailing, with numerous wins and podium positions from launch including 2014 Route de Rhum, Caribbean 600, 2016 Atlantic Cup, Transat Quebec-St Malo, & Les Sables-Horta in 2017. 

Maintained to a high standard this is a high spec vessel with an impressive inventory which helps her to realise performance and reliability. Tales II is ISAF Cat 0 compliant. Standing the test of time, she still races competitively with the best of the fleet and is ready to undertake any challenging sailing program with a new owner. We highly recommend a viewing of this extremely competitive racing yacht which conforms to current Class 40 rules.
