Atomic Blonde

 

Simon Torvaldsen will campaign his newly built JPK 11.80, against his previous Atomic Blonde (a JPK 10.30 now Rockall) also competing with their new owner.  Under his previous yachts, Simon claimed the 2021 Siska Trophy for top offshore yacht in Western Australia as well as being a divisional winner in the 2022 Bunbury and return race as well as the Naturaliste and Fremantle to Geraldton Races.  In fact, an Atomic Blonde has been WA Div 2 Offshore and Blue Water IRC champion every year since competing.  The crew this year will include Steve Humphries (previous navigator on Bacardi) and George Kennedy from 2021 Rolex Fastnet winner – Sunrise
