Porco Rosso

Porco Rosso won the 2013 Rolex Sydney Hobart as Victoire for Darryl Hodgkinson. Now owned by Tasmanian, Paul McCartney – the yachtsman not the Beatles front man! This canting keeled Cookson 50 has a very good Sydney Hobart history for previous owners and under different names. In 2010, British owner Chris Bull sailed the yacht he called ‘Jazz’ to second overall in 2010 and then fourth overall and first in IRC Division 0 in 2011. Previously, Ray Roberts named her Evolution Racing and won the Sydney Gold Coast Race, then renamed her Quantum Racing and placed third in the 2007 Rolex Sydney Hobart.
