Black Sheep
Black Sheep (formerly Honeysuckle) was acquired by brothers Martin and Derek Sheppard in April this year with a goal of pursing both ocean racing, including the Rolex Sydney Hobart, and regatta sailing. She sails under the burgee of three clubs: Wollongong Yacht Club, Greenwich Flying Squadron and the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia. The crew is an assembly of three previous yacht crews including family and friends with a mixture of racing experiences from east coast offshore races to dinghy racing.
The Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race will be the first major ocean race for this boat with her new owners. Our priority is to have fun racing in the company of other like-minded competitors and hopefully collect a few stories worth telling over a glass of champagne and/or beer at the end of the day’s sailing!
