Caro

Caro

 

Launched in 2021, Caro has been one of the most impressive yachts to be campaigned offshore. Skippered by Swiss yachtsman, Max Klink, the yacht placed third overall in the 2022 RORC Transatlantic Race, before claiming overall honours in CS1 at the Les Voiles de St. Barth Regatta and overall IRC 1 honours at the 2022 Australian Yachting Championship hosted by Hamilton Island Race Week.


This year they will return for their third Sydney Hobart after finishing the Hobart third overall in 2022 and ninth overall for third in Division 1 in 2023, after winning the Rolex Fastnet Race earlier in 2023. Caro also topped her division in the 2023 Rolex Middle Sea Race and she raced in the CYCA’s 2024 Bird Island Race in November and won by seven minutes to URM Group. These results make her one of the race favourites again this year.
