When I bought Whisper from Laurent Pinget, Whisper was geared the old way, there was 4 winch, plenty of blocks and sheets everywhere. I sailed her once from Geneva to Prangins and decided to strip here completely from this old stuff. As a result she received a new carbon mast from Wilke, a new rudder designed by Seb Schmidt and a new layout more suitable for racing. She was 20 kg lighter and lot more fun to sail. I kept the original keel but I improved the trim control which proved to be the good choice. This is by far the finest boat I ever sailed !
