Splash Gordon

Splash Gordon

 

Stephen Ellis’s modified Farr 40 Splash Gordon has been optimised from its one design configuration to suit the IRC rule including a fixed bow sprit, masthead asymmetric spinnaker and a new keel which is 300kg heavier than the class one design keel. Splash Gordon finished second in division in the 2006 Rolex Trophy and is looking forward to its second offshore race in Australia.
