Loki

Loki

 

Loki, was launched in December 2008 – just one week prior to the start of the Rolex Sydney Hobart. She was built by McConaghy Boats for Stephen Ainsworth whose previous 63’ Loki was wrecked during the 2007 Rolex Middle Sea Race. Designed with a conventional bulb keel, she is a lot wider than the previous boat and has a long bow pole for asymmetric spinnakers.

Loki has performed strongly in every race she has been entered into including podium finishes in the 2009 Skandia Docklands Invitational (1st), 2009 Skandia Geelong IRC Division 1 (3rd), and Audi Sydney Harbour Regatta 2009 (3rd). Loki took the trifecta of line honours, IRC overall win and new race record in the 2009 Audi Sydney Offshore Newcastle Yacht Race; and was second across the line in 2010. In this year’s Audi Sydney Harbour regatta Loki took line and IRC Division 1 overall honours. She also finished second over the line in the 2009 Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race  to Wild Oats X. Loki finished ninth across the line in last year’s Rolex Sydney Hobart and second across the line in the Audi Sydney Offshore Newcastle Yacht Race in March this year
