Journeymen Flat White

In her owner’s absence, Geoff Tomlins will skipper the former Red Jacket, bought by Jen Linkova, who renamed the Radford 12.2 Flat White and sailed her to DH PHS eighth overall in the 2021 Rolex Sydney Hobart. Journeymen Flat White did two Sydney Hobarts before Linkova bought her, retiring in 1998 and placing 10th and winning its division in 1999 when owned by Ron Lally.

It was then owned by couple Annette Hesselmans (she is doing this race double-handed on Fika) who contested the double-handed Melbourne-Osaka race in 2018 on the yacht. The Sydney Hobart seduced Linkova when she raced on Flying Fish Arctos from 2013 to 2015 and again on Dreki Sunnan in 2018.
