Yendys

Hamilton Island, Whitsundays, Queensland, Australia 20º19’73″S 149º03’38″E

Onboard Yendys a Reichel/Pugh 55 during the Withehaven Beach race, winner of the IRC Racing division at the 2007 Audi Hamilton Island Race Week.
Geoff Ross launched his new Reichel/Pugh 55 late 2006. It was the first boat out of McConaghy International’s new boatyard in China. Yendys (Sydney spelt backwards) has been an icon of the Australian sailing scene for many year.
Yendys carries a sail number of 1836 – the year Geoff’s ancestors first arrived in Hobart via convict transportation.
