Zen
Zen is the second Sydney 38 owned by Gordon, who has been racing these popular one-design boats for five years. He has had a few wins in individual races but no podium finishes yet with this boat.
Zen was launched just before the 2004 Rolex Sydney Hobart, from which she subsequently retired because of heavy weather. Gordon achieved good results with his previous Sydney 38 in the Sydney Mooloolaba, Sydney Gold Coast and Pittwater to Coffs Harbour races. Zen is part of a strong Sydney 38 division in this year’s Rolex Sydney Hobart.
