After a season in the Caribbean she went through the Panama canal and crossed the Pacific to Australia arriving November 2007. She sailed in the Sydney – Hobart race. In August 2008 she sailed in Hamilton island race week. Thereafter she was laid up ashore in Sydney.  In late December 2008 she was shipped from Australia to Florida, USA. In March 2009 she was shipped to the UK.

In spring 2009 she had her topsides painted and her rig checked over. She spent the summer in the UK racing and cruising (including the Swan European Regatta and the Fastnet Race). She then sailed to the Med to compete in St Tropez at Les Voiles October 2009. In 2010 she returned to Antigua in the Caribbean for the winter.

May / June 2010 she has relocated to Newport prior to the Bermuda Race in which she participated and won her class and division.  She then returned to Newport.
