Onboard the 63 feet Loki for the first test sail in the Sydney Harbour.
McConaghy Boats in Mona Vale, Australia built the new Reichel-Pugh 63 Loki For Stephen Ainsworth. In Norse Mythology, Loki is a God. Loki sometimes assists the gods and sometimes causes problems for them. Loki is a shape shifter and in separate incidents he appears in the form of a salmon, mare, seal, fly, and possibly an elderly woman. Loki’s positive relations with the gods end with his role in engineering the death of the god Baldr. Loki is eventually bound by the gods with the entrails of one of his sons.
