Papillon

 

Originally from Newcastle, where she raced with great success as Cabernet Sauvignon, Papillon was brought to Sydney early in 2007 by experienced ocean racing yachtsman Phil Molony to campaign offshore.  Papillon is an Archambault 40, a design that has achieved great success on IRC in Europe and Australia. Papillon competed in the 2007 and 2008 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and is contesting the CYCA’s Blue Water Pointscore Series again this season.  Recently Papillion placed second in 2008-09 Tasman Pointscore Series (PHS).
