Mortgage Choice Rumba

Mortgage Choice Rumba

 

Mortgage Choice Rumba was launched in 2002 by co-owners Robert Carr, Stephanie Cook and Kerry Burke.  Based at MHYC, Rumba has been a regular competitor in the MHYC Inshore Series and CYCA Audi Winter Series. Her best result to date has been a win in the PHS Division for the 2005 Savills Championship and a 2nd in Division D in the Audi Winter Series 2008.

In 2006 and 2007 Rumba won races in the CYCA Ocean Points Score and finished  6th overall in PHS in 2007/2008. With the experience gained over the years, and crew and owners experience in similar events, it is a natural evolution for Rumba to head North on is first Cat 2 race in the 2008 Sydney to Gold Coast race.  The boat and crew are looking forward to a bit of wind to keep Rumba moving, with it being a bonus if it's a spinnaker run.  Next stop Southport!
