Description:
Rock ‘n Roll has actively participated in various offshore races, notably the Transpacific Yacht Race (Transpac). In the 2021 Transpac, the yacht was crewed by a team that included Sangmeister’s twin sons, Peter and Jack, highlighting the family’s deep-rooted sailing tradition.
The yacht has undergone significant modifications to enhance its performance. These upgrades include the installation of Harken 99 winches from a Mod 70 and Harken 65s from the former world-speed record holder Hydroptere. Additionally, a new, thinner keel and rudder have been fitted to improve hydrodynamics, aiming to make Rock ‘n Roll the lightest sled in its class by approximately 300 pounds.
The crew comprises seasoned sailors, including professionals like Ryan Breymaier, who has extensive experience in offshore racing. The team’s composition reflects a blend of seasoned expertise and familial involvement, underscoring a commitment to both competitive sailing and the preservation of sailing traditions.
