Jaffa
Jaffa returns from the west for her second tilt at the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race after finishing 39th overall (one place behind fellow WA boat Indian) and 20th overall in ORCi. From there, she went on to finish 17th in Cruiser/Racer Division 1 at the Festival of Sails. Twice runner-up in the Siska Trophy, WA’s overall blue water racing championship trophy, she has competed in most major offshore races on the west coast, and was specifically for those conditions. Jaffa was constructed by well-known West Australian builder Peter Milner, and is based in Fremantle, the home of the America’s Cup in Australia.
