She has been continuously modified to be a far stronger offshore yacht with her custom Forespar mast, Leisure Furl in-boom reefing, new rigging, new Quantum sails, custom hard dodger, upgraded deck hardware throughout, Mastervolt lithium-ion batteries, and much, much more. Having sailed three Newport to Bermuda races and one Marion to Newport, Sunflower meets all current safety requirements with certified in-date life raft, MOM 8A, EPIRBs, flares, ditch bag, etc.
