Chutzpah

Chutzpah

 

This is Bruce Taylor’s sixth Chutzpah, a Reichel/Pugh design, built by Mal Hart.  In 2007, in her first Rolex Sydney Yacht Race, Chutzpah won Division C and placed 4th overall. Chutzpah won the IRC/AMS handicap double in the ORCV’s 2008 Melbourne Stanley race, following on from their IRC Division 2 win in the Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race.  Taylor has notched up an amazing eight divisional wins as well as one 2nd and one 3rd overall in the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and with his very experienced ocean racing crew is looking for a fast-off the wind trip.
