ALPHA+

Shawn and Tina Kang acquired Luna Rossa late 2019 and since then raced their TP52, renamed Alpha+, from its home port Hong Kong. They started racing big boats owning a Beneteau cruiser-racer, their next step was a custom build Ker 46. Beginning of 2023 Alpha+ was shipped to Barcelona to participate in the 2023 52 Super Series. Now in its fourth Super Series year and with 7th overall and an event podium place in 2025 the team aims for the top half of the fleet.
