Pelagic Magic

Pelagic Magic

 

Dr Hugh Torode purchased Pelagic Magic in December 2008 with the specific intent to race her in last year's Rolex Sydney Hobart. Pelagic took to the start line and finished 67th across the line, 44th IRC Overall, and 15th in IRC Division 4. Pelagic Magic competed in Audi Victoria Week on her return passage home to Sydney, where she was crewed by family members.  She competed in the Audi Sydney Harbour Regatta and intends to compete in the CYCA's Blue Water Pointscore. Torode has assembled a tight crew that includes Dave Sharpe, Chris O'Neill and Ian Douglas who are all looking forward to the trip north.
