Gun Runner

 

The third smallest boat in the fleet, Gun Runner retired from the 2021 race due to time constraints. Prior to that, the Jarkan 925 placed 114th on IRC in 2019, after a best result of 50th for fourth in Division 4 in 2018, when shealso won the Corinthian Division. In 2017 as second smallest boat in the fleet, she finished 77th. Owned by the Army Sailing Club, the Army uses the boat to train its personnel and teaches the Army values of courage, initiative, respect and teamwork. Her crew will be out to wrestle the Oggin Cup (awarded to the first armed services yacht on corrected time) back from Navy One, winner of the Cup for the past two years.
