Yendys

Geoff Ross purpose built this Reichel/Pugh 55, the first grand prix yacht out of McConaghy International’s new boatyard in China, to attempt a second overall win in the Rolex Sydney Hobart after claiming this honour with his former Yendys in 1999.  Ross has already recorded some notable results including 2nd in division in last year’s Rolex Trophy and IRC winner of the IRC Racing division at this year’s Audi Hamilton Island Race Week.  Yendys carries a sail number of 1836 - the year Geoff's ancestors first arrived in Hobart via convict transportation.
