Turn of the century breakthroughs in IRC yacht racing highlighted the talents of Irish Yacht Designer Mark Mills. With numerous successful smaller designs Mills collaborated with yachtsmen Andy Soriano to create ALEGRE. This collaborative effort, continuous updating and desire to achieve the best would create the most impressive team Mediterranean yacht racing had ever seen. With an owner driver, mostly Corinthian crew and the diligence of a designer and captain to keep the yacht up to date season after season ALEGRE tuned all heads.... Flash forward, in 2015 and with one short term interim owner, the Corinthian Sailing Team from the NorthEast Coast of the United States took the reins and created a set of goals that would leave most breathless….. This five year, globetrotting race program left the bucket overflowing with silverware and, for those who created the list, every box checked!!!

An extensive research program on how best to improve performance resulted in an extremely comprehensive list of modifications. This included the replacement of the mast to the latest technology, lighter, more aero rig. in conjunction with this great weight saving modification we modified the jib sheeting arrangement allowing the ability to introduce a much higher performance sail plan. To manage the larger sail plan a spinnaker drop wheel system and additional grinder pedestal were added. A linked pedestal system now utilizes the power from eight crew. This system also includes driving the runner winches. This improvement alone has made a massive improvement ensuring we were fully efficient with our W/L course sailing, as well as offshore events.

The sail plan, rigging, mast technology is always up to date and the boat has had great successes racing in Europe, the east Coast of the States and the Caribbean.
