Originally launched as CATAPULT and campaigned successfully under IRC in the USA before arriving in the UK where she raced successfully under Irish ownership as ANTIX, CIPPA LIPPA ROSSA moved into her third and current ownership for the 2018 seasons and following one season of use, was professionally laid up and shrink-wrapped at the end of the 2018 season and has remained so ever since.

Heavily optimised throughout the Ker 40 lifecycle including fitment of a deeper Mk2 keel with stainless steel fin and lead torpedo bulb, and upgraded bowsprit to allow higher-load reaching sails, CIPPA LIPPA ROSSA has the potential to beat much newer designs over the water and under handicap.
