Samurai Jack
Samurai Jack, a modified Farr39 that is a close relation to the current crop of Farr40s – has an international history after being built in USA, competing in Japan and NZ, before the current owners sailed her over to Brisbane in January 2009.
Her new crew have successfully competed in the 2011 Brisbane to Gladstone and Brisbane to Keppel Island yacht races, and two Fairway Challenges. The boat has been extensively refitted and strengthened to compete in the Rolex Sydney Hobart. Skipper Mick Lazzarini and crew are seeking to prove that Bruce Farr’s design remains a competitive classic despite its mature age.
