Azzurro

Azzurro returns in 2023 with her new owner, Jack Kliner.  The small but mighty S&S34 is always a fan favourite and under her previous owner has been close to snatching the overall victory the larger yachts. With her rich blue hull, sparkling white deck and faultless stainless-steel fittings she’s a sight to behold and a serious contender in races across the country.  In 2015, Azzurro won the Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race overall.  Azzurro continued to impress and improve in the 2015 RSHYR, placing 3^rd overall in IRC.  More recently Jack skippered Azzurro to place 3^rd overall on IRC in the 75^th Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht race and 1^st overall on ORCI.  Round the World solo Yachtswoman Jessica Watson joins the crew from Queensland for this year’s trip south.  Jack and the crew are aiming to extend Azzurro’s successful race pedigree and push the boat to new heights at the 2023 RSHYR.  However, the Azzurro crew’s mission extends beyond the pursuit of on water victory; the crew is dedicated to promoting awareness for the Stroke Foundation and making waves in the fight against strokes.
