Profile

One of the first ocean racers to be built in Australia, Janzoon II was a dominant boat in the early '60s when she notched a 2nd place in the 1961 Sydney Hobart. Her blue hull and the pinched ends so typical of the last of the RORC yachts, make her easily recognisable. She tends to be out designed by modern IOR trends, but with a generous age allowance in her TCF she is given a new chance of this year.
