Olympic gold medallist joins Kokomo crew for Farr 40 title |
|
London 2012 Olympic gold medallist Malcolm Page will join the already elite crew of Lang Walker’s Kokomo for this weekend’s inaugural Queensland Farr 40 class championship.
Page will be tactician to experienced international owner/skipper Lang Walker as he helms Kokomo in the two-day, six-race series on Brisbane’s Moreton Bay.
“We have a solid crew for Kokomo, and Malcolm will not only add his skills as an Olympic gold medal winning sailor, but will bring to the boat his very positive attitude to the sport, which will reflect on the entire crew,” senior crew member Richard Allinson said today.
Kokomo is one of three Sydney-based Farr 40s contesting the championship, the others being Martin Hill’s Estate Master and the 2011 world champion boat Transfusion, skippered by Guido Belgiorno-Nettis.

Farr 40s In Queensland Versus New South Wales Rivalry |
 Traditional sporting rivalry between Queensland and New South Wales will take to the water this weekend when three top crews from Sydney take on the best of Brisbane sailors in the Queensland championship for the Farr 40 class.
The Aberdeen Asset Management-sponsored championship, to be sailed from Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, is the first in a series of regattas for the prestigious international one-design class this summer, with others to follow in Hobart and Sydney.
The Brisbane fleet of five Farr 40s will be joined by the prominent Sydney boats, Transfusion, Estate Master and Kokomo, whose owners have had them sailed and/or trucked them north especially for the Queensland titles.
The championships will be sailed on Moreton Bay on Saturday and Sunday with up to six windward/leeward races scheduled on a testing course east of St Helena Island.
