Gillawa

 

This ACT crew, led by owner David Kent, understandably don’t get many opportunities to sail but this year, they’ve signed up for a full offshore campaign that may result in an entry in this year’s 60th anniversary Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.  Built in 1980, this Cavalier 975 will race north with a mixture of Canberra and Northern Territory based crew.
