Min River (DH)

Min River (DH)

 

Launched in 2023, Jiang Lin purchased her JPK 10.30 brand new and campaigned it briefly throughout Europe before bringing her out to Sydney to compete in Lin’s third Hobart. In the yacht’s first Sydney Hobart, Jiang Lin and co-skipper Aymeric Belloir placed second place in Division 2 and third in the Double Handed Division. Jiang Lin has been competing in the CYCA Blue Water Pointscore with a best result of first in IRC Division 3 and second in the Double Handed division of the 2024 Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race. Lin placed third in the DH division of the Bird Island Race in November.

This Francois ‘Fanch’ Guiffant, a professional French solo sailor and navigator, who has raced in the Transat CIC, Transat Jacques Vabre, Route du Rhum and Rolex Fastnet Race among others, will co-skipper Min River. This pair should do well and may give the likes of Mistral and Disko Trooper_Contender Sailcloth a run for their money.
