Originally built as BRIBON for the King of Spain, before she became "Ice Fire", "RKO" and now "ROCKALL" her most recent ownership has by far and away been her most successful and competitive spell, with the last two owners putting her through what can only be described as a "complete overhaul" when they purchased her in 2016 and again in 2017.
Under the direction of Gavin Brady, RKO was transformed into one of Australia's most competitive TP's and arguably there is not a better boat that can tackle both inshore and offshore racing with the same degree of confidence. 2016 was a big turning point for the boat, with a new sail inventory and carbon rigging installed, the boats performance improved dramatically.
Further upgrades in 2017 and again in 2018 from the current owner, include more offshore sails, a new PAC 52 designed rudder and a new B&G H5000 system, mean this boat is turn-key for her next campaign.
