Michael "Zappa" Bell is back for his 15th Rolex Sydney Hobart on his Jones 42.  After competing with his son Oli in the two-handed division in 2022 aboard Minnie, Zappa is back racing fully crewed with a mix of new and old crew.  The Jones 42, previously known as Cadibarra 8 has plenty of miles under her belt and is a tried and tested offshore yacht that will provide strong competition for her fellow competitors.
