Chutzpah
One of three Victorian entrants in this year’s race, Taylor and his Chutzpah yachts have had some success in the Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race, including a division win in 2008, along with divisional third and 12th overall in 2012. In last year’s race, Chutzpah was forced to retire with electrical problems.
Taylor has a wealth of ocean racing experience, with 33 Hobarts to his credit, combined with many offshore races off Victoria and the eastern seaboard. In her first Rolex Sydney Hobart in 2007, his current Chutzpah, a Reichel/Pugh Caprice 40 built by Mal Hart, won Division C and placed fourth overall. In 2008 she won IRC 2 Division and was third in division in 2009, 2010 and 2013.
