Australia
The brief

Celebrity accountant Anthony Bell has made headlines with his recent acquisition of the racing yacht Comanche, which triumphed in last year’s Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. The vessel has been relaunched under the new name Tribeca Loyal, and Bell has enlisted the expertise of Tom Slingsby, one of Australia’s most decorated sailors, to lead the charge as skipper. This collaboration is generating excitement as they prepare to compete in the upcoming race, aiming to establish Tribeca Loyal as the ‘world’s best super maxi’.
