Chutzpah
This is Taylor’s sixth Chutzpah, a Reichel/Pugh Caprice 40 built by Mal Hart, a builder of note from Victoria. In her first Rolex Sydney Yacht in 2007, Chutzpah won Division C and placed fourth overall and in 2008 scored another IRC 2 Division win, with a 2009 and 2010 third in division.
Taylor’s best result in the Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race race has been winning IRC Division 2 in 2008. In last year’s race, Chutzpah finished third in IRC Division 2 and 12th overall.
In his 31 years of competing in the Rolex Sydney Hobart, the Victorian dentist has notched up a second and third overall, and an amazing 10 divisional wins. In last year’s blue water classic, Chutzpah finished 25th on line, 42nd overall, fifth in IRC Division 2 and sixth in ORCi Division 2.
