Victoire

 

Hodgkinson, the 2012 CYCA Ocean Racer of the Year, has stepped up from his Beneteau 45 to the ‘new Victoire’ a Cookson 50, formerly Jazz.  Under Chris Bull’s ownership, this canting keeled Cookson 50 was second overall, first in IRC Division 0 and first overall in the ORCi division in the 2010 Rolex Sydney Hobart after also finishing second in 2000.

2011 was a great year for Hodgkinson and his Beneteau 45 Victoire. He won the CYCA Blue Water Pointscore Series and claimed the Class B win in the Audi IRC Australian Championships after a third place in Audi Victoria Week, second in the Audi Sydney Harbour Regatta, and two firsts in division in both the Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race and Hamilton Island Race week.
