This famous old campaigner set a race record to Hobart in 2007 for 26 times racing south - the most races by any yacht in the Hobart race.  Between them the crew has amassed an incredible 150 Rolex Sydney Hobarts including Maurie Cameron (33 Hobarts) and Geoff Barter (32 Hobarts). Phillip’s

Foote Witchdoctor won the 2005 Sydney Mooloolaba Race on PHS handicap and placed 5th last year in the Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht race showing there’s still plenty of life in this 29 year-old boat.
