Greg Dorn Starting a TP52 Program With ‘Favonius2’

Over the last several years, Greg Dorn has been actively campaigning his successful Dehler 46 Favonius on the Bay, to Mexico and to Hawaii. Greg recently confirmed he’s now moving up to start campaigning a new-to-him TP52. Favonius2 was formerly Bribon. She’s a 2005 Farr-designed Transpac 52 built by Cookson Marine in New Zealand for the king of Spain. She’s been updated by several owners to continue winning races on the West Coast ever since.

Greg wrote with his current racing plans, saying, “Our plan is to practice this fall in San Diego via a few inshore races. Our goal is to prepare for the 2025 Newport to Cabo as our first offshore test, then turning our focus toward the 2025 Transpac. We will do a few races between Cabo and Transpac.”

We also reached out to boat captain Ashley Perrin, who explained she’s sailing east of Greenland at the moment. With the transition from Favonius to Favonius2 Greg and crew will be stepping up their game for the season ahead. We look forward to hearing more and receiving some sailing photos once the team gathers for fall racing practice.
