Lazy Duck

John Ripard, son of John Ripard – one of the founders of the Rolex Middle Sea Race, is proud to be returning to the Rolex Middle Sea Race aboard Lazy Duck, last raced in 2008 with an 8th overall finish. After an extensive refit, John and his son Tom will be tackling the race double-handed, marking a special father-and-son adventure around a course they both love. Tom, who has completed several fully-crewed races, shared, “It’s extra special to do this with my Father on a boat I grew up on. We’re nearly ready and can’t wait to get to the start line!”
