Finishing third overall to Victoire and second overall under ORCi in last year’s Rolex Sydney Hobart, Sam Haynes capped off another great season with his Rogers 46,Celestial, finishing sixth overall in the Blue Water Pointscore.

In last year’s Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race, Celestial finished 12th overall and second in IRC Division 2 and went on to win the Brisbane Keppel Tropical Yacht Race overall, also winning ORCi Division. A third in the IRC Racing division then followed at Hamilton Island Race Week.

Additionally, Haynes and crew, who have been together for the past two seasons, won Division 1 of the 2013 NSW IRC Championship at Sail Port Stephens, after finishing fourth in Division A of the 2013 IRC Australian Championship.

Haynes’ 2012-2013 BWPS was one to remember: he finished second overall to winner Loki and won the ORCi category; finished second in division in the Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race; third overall in the Flinders Islet Race and scored the treble of IRC, ORCi and PHS wins in the Bird Island Race.
