Alacrity

Alacrity

 

Following a major rebuild pre-Rolex Sydney Hobart after running aground and breaking the boat’s hull, Matt Percy’s Alacrity went on to place third place in division in Australia’s premiere yachting event. Alacrity is a Southport based yacht and will be sailed north by a mixture of Southport and Sydney sailors with one South Australian blow in. They are hoping for a light NE/NW breeze.
