Odin

Odin is hull #12 of the reintroduced high performance cruising yachts produced by Beneteau in their First range and was delivered to Sydney in 2020. She features a 3 metre deep keel and carbon mast. Odin competed in the Sydney to Coffs Harbour race in 2021 and has done various CYCA Ocean Pointscore races. She has now been prepared for a more committed blue water racing and cruising program, though maintains her gentleman’s racer and luxury orientated heritage.

Matt Hanning’s love of sailing began in Hong Kong and it wasn’t long before he purchased a Ker 40 he named Signal 8. After gaining experience in Asia, Hanning took on the Commodore’s Cup in the UK. Arriving back in Sydney, he bought a Sydney 36 Cruiser/Racer named Supernova (now owned by Alex Seja and Felicity Nelson who are also doing the Hobart), before buying Odin. He also owns the MC38 Thor and competes in that class.
