Profile

Colourful Sydney yachtsman Jack Rooklyn and his former maxi, Apollo, are both making a comeback to ocean racing. Apollo was retired after the 1987 Sydney-Coffs Harbour-Southport race and later sold to become a charter boat in the Whitsunday Islands of Far North Queensland, but present owner Vince d’Emilio has kept her in trim.
