The Yachts

The Goat

 

This is the former Celestial, which won last year’s Land Rover Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race and subsequently won the 2014 Blue Water Pointscore in both IRC and ORCi. Bruce Foye and Sebastien Bohm recently bought the boat on and have the goods to keep up the performance of the newly named The Goat, after moving up from the successful Sydney 38 of the same name. In last year’s Gold Coaster, Foye and crew were 29th overall after being penalized, but still won Division 3, beating nearest rival divisional rival, Ariel, by over two hours on corrected time. Other major results include winning the Sydney 38 division of the 2007 Rolex Sydney Hobart, with second in 2008 and third in 2009, also won the 2011 Sydney 38 Nationals. Foye significantly won the 1993 Sydney Hobart overall under IOR with Wild Rose, in partnership with Roger Hickman.
