Mako

The Sydney 40 has recently changed ownership to Simon Macks, who is part of a ten person syndicate. Previously the syndicate, then skippered by Paul O’Rourke, chose the 75th running of the Sydney Hobart to debut Mako in the Hobart and placed 60th overall. He returned in 2021 but retired with mainsail damage. In 2022, Mako, a Sydney 40, scored second place in PHS, which it backed-up with second again in the 2023 Rolex Sydney Hobart.

Designed and built for the 1999 Admiral’s Cup and named ‘Trust Computer Products’, she was part of the winning Dutch team. After that, she raced as Questionable Logic and Pride, before a large syndicate from NCYC bought her in 2018 to compete in races and regattas on the east coast.
