Profile

This latest Ben Lexcen design for Jack Brooklyn will start a favourite for line honours. Launched in May this year, her first major race was the Montague, where she was 2nd across the line to the record-breaking Helsal II. Rooklyn knows what line Honours is about, being first across in '76 in Ballyhoo and in the original Apollo in '78. A third such victory for this experienced crew would not surprise.
