Wild Rose
The Farr 43 Wild Rose, which has been renamed from Wild Oats for this race to avoid confusion with Bob Oatley’s Wild Oats, is one of the better known yachts in Australia’s modern ocean racing times, having won not only the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race in 1993 but most other offshore races on the east coast of Australia in addition to twice being the CYCA’s Blue Water Champion.
It will be campaigned north for the 20th anniversary race by Roger Hickman, one of Australia’s most experienced offshore yachtsmen, who has been on board five CYCA Blue Water Champion yachts, four as owner/skipper, and was named the CYCA Ocean Racing Yachtsman of the Year in 1997. He is a veteran of 28 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Races including Overall wins in the 1993 and 2000 races.
