One For The Road

 

Since acquiring the yacht in December 2006, CYCA Ocean Racing Rookie of the Year for 2008 Kym Butler and his crew including CYCA Crewman of the year Tony Purkiss, have contested most of the long races on the NSW coast including Audi Sydney Gold Coast in 2007 and 2008, Audi Sydney Offshore Newcastle Yacht Race in 2007 and 2008, Pittwater-Coffs Harbour 2008, Gosford-Lord Howe Island 2008 (3rd on IRC) and Rolex Sydney Hobart 2008.
