Welcome to Kokomo.com.au

Hello and welcome, from Lang Walker and the Kokomo team. 

We invite you to share in some of the many Kokomo adventures through our comprehensive website. The Kokomo fleet includes a 170ft ocean racing superyacht, state-of-the-art 40ft racing yachts, and a 123ft luxury power yacht.

Our Farr 40 Racing Team are almost always on the move, competing on tours throughout Europe, the US, and Australia. The Farr 40 News pages are constantly updated so stay tuned for racing news!

Where does the name Kokomo come from? - It's origins reach back to the beginning of Lang Walkers sailing career. At the age of 9, Lang was given a 'Manly Jr' dinghy named Kokomo. The name stuck and to date, all of Lang’s boats have been named Kokomo. Contrary to popular belief, Kokomo was not derived from the Kokomo wetlands in the U.S. or the Kokomo bird in New Guinea, or the Beach Boy's song Kokomo.

Be sure to check back regularly for updated news, photos and google earth feeds. If you have any questions or feedback relating to the Kokomo website feel free to contact us.

Rolex Farr 40 Worlds 2009 - IF...
Two races, two winners, no change at the top. The wobbles have begun though and the moves are being made in both directions. Rudyard Kipling could have written his famous poem about day two at the Rolex Farr 40 Worlds 2009.

Rolex Farr 40 Worlds - OPPOSITES ATTRACT
It is a surreal experience sat at the windward mark on a media boat, waiting for the fleet to arrive, all the while listening to Bob Marley and the Wailers on the radio. Total relaxation. A complete world away from the intense battles and mind games being played out on the racecourse at Rolex Farr 40 Worlds and the frenzy of activity about to be unleashed.

Rolex Farr 40 Worlds 2009 - KEEPING CLEAN
Porto Cervo put on one of the feasts for which it is famous in the sailing world. A cobalt blue sky as an antipasti, solid warm breeze for the primi piatti, decent waves for the secondi and the dolce were three excellent races. All on day one of the Rolex Farr 40 World Championship 2009.
