Wave Sweeper

Wave Sweeper

 

Wave Sweeper, the former Chancellor, is an extensively tuned Beneteau 40.7, that has a distinguished racing pedigree.  Based in Cabarita, Wave Sweeper is a regular summer racer and regatta boat and is a tried sail training yacht for east coast sailors. A previous winner of the Coffs Harbour races as Le Billet, as well as a Rolex Sydney Hobart and Sydney Mooloolaba competitor, Wave Sweeper likes to head north during the winter season to compete in the northern sailing program including Airlie Beach and Hamilton Island regattas.

After competing in the 2011 Rolex Sydney Hobart with a mixed international crew, Wave Sweeper is again racing to defend her PHS Division 2 win in the Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht race with her local crew that sail regularly on the yacht. A combination of experience and local knowledge should see Wave Sweeper in Southport safely. Her owners, Morgan and Michelle Rogers, will then leave Southport and cruise north with the family to Hamilton Island.
