- By replacing old blocks, optimising the sheeting and clearing out, handling is improved and the boat is indirectly faster.
- Safety-related upgrades include stretch ropes for picking, preferably with a Dyneema core to minimise the risk of falling.
- A key measure is the switch from lead to lithium batteries with new cables to ensure sufficient energy for long regattas.

- Lisa Berger and Jade Edwards-Leaney finish the Globe40 circumnavigation after 227 days on the Class40 "Wilson" in sixth place on the final leg.
