Phillip's Foote Witchdoctor

Phillip's Foote Witchdoctor

 

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.  Phillip’s Foote Witchdoctor won the 2005 Sydney Mooloolaba Race on PHS handicap and placed 5th in the 2007 Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht race showing there’s still plenty of life in this 30 year-old boat.
