Christopher Opielok returns to the Rolex Sydney Hobart after campaigning his TP52 of the same name in 2017. Purchased out of Western Australia in 2023 and a previous Atomic Blonde, Opielok's crew consists of a mix of German, British and Western Australian locals who will be looking to emulate the success of JPKs globally. With a number of JPK and similar production boats competing in the 2023 edition of the Great race, Rockall 8 will be one to watch both overall and in her division.
