Close Halled

 

One of four yachts competing in this race from Lake Macquarie Yacht Club, past Commodore Graeme Hall is hoping his five year-old Beneteau can win her division and possibly even the race overall if conditions favour the Beneteaus.

Close Halled has competed in the last three Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Races with results of 11th overall and sixth in division last year and was third in division in the 2012 and 2011 races. Hall has competed in two Pittwater to Coffs Harbour races with a best result of third overall and second in division in the 2011 race.
