Dexia Farr 40 Skagen 2007

It's nice to see some Aussies getting out and spreading their wings in the European circuit and achieving some good results. Hooligan (Marcus Blackmore) and Kokomo (Lang Walker) have finished second and third in the Dexia Farr 40 regatta held in Denmark. Opus One (Wolfgang Stoltz) won the regatta with multiple world champion Barking Mad (Jim Richardson) finishing fourth. The fleet experienced breezy conditions throughout the regatta and the new masthead spinnakers proved a handful for the owner drivers. Here's the regatta site & results.

The Farr 40 fleet now head to the Marstrand Regatta in Sweden, July 23-28 before heading back to Denmark for the pre-worlds in Copenhagen which start on August 24.
