In a relatively short period (launched 2003), this Hick 50 has clocked some serious racing miles including the Melbourne – Osaka Race, where she placed 3rd over the line in their division, the Three Peaks Race, last year’s Rolex Sydney Hobart as well as this year’s Sydney Mooloolaba, Brisbane to Gladstone and SSAA Pittwater to Port Stephens races where they placed first over the line by over 3 ½ hours with half the fleet retiring due to rough weather.

Husband and wife team of Ivan and Sibby MacFadyen and their crew will represent the Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club.
