Valkyrie, Old Norse Valkyrja (“Chooser of the Slain”), in Norse mythology, heroine Valkyries guard the lives and ships of those dear to them. 

Designed and built in New Zealand as a "offshore capable" TP 52, this will be Valkyries third trip to the islands.  Under her previous owner "Bunk" Burnett she won the Pacific Cup and raced in the Transpac.  This is fully a team effort with most of the crew owning their own race/cruising boats.
