Race Onboard The Farr STP 65 Sagamore

A bigger and faster line honors ride for ‪@ChicagoYC‬ Race to Mackinac: that’s the goal of Laura and Tone Martin’s new-to-them Storm Trysail Transpac 65 Sagamore. This 65-footer was originally built as Rosebud for owner Roger Sturgeon in 2007 and went on to win the Rolex Sydney Hobart Race that year and many other regattas that followed. It had a brief stint as Equation before being pulled into crewed and doublehanded duty in Germany as Milan. It’s now back in the US with the Martins who took Sailing World’s Dave Reed onboard for the Helly Hansen @sailingworldregattaseries in Chicago. As their second day of racing with the boat, the crew was in the early learning phase of how to get this yacht around the racetrack.
