Nicorette III is a 90 ft maxi yacht.[1] The yacht was designed by Alexander Simonis & Marten Voogd and built in New Zealand by Boatspeed Performance Sailcraft.[2] She won line honours in the 2004 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race skippered by Ludde Ingvall.[2] In 2016 she was completely rebuilt at Southern Ocean Marine to a new design by naval architect Brett Bakewell-White which extended her hull to 98 ft. She was relaunched and rechristened maxi CQS in November 2016, in time to compete in the 2016 Sydney Hobart race.[3]
