Patrice Six

 

Shaun Lane purchased Patrice Six from Tony Kirby in 2013. In the 2015 Land Rover Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race, Lane steered the X-41 to 37th overall, moving up from 43rd in the 2014 race. He also scored 43rd overall in the 2015 Sydney Hobart for 22nd overall in the Blue Water Pointscore. Backed up with third overall in the X Yachts Production division at the 2016 Sydney Harbour Regatta; an improvement on fifth the previous year. Under Kirby’s ownership, Patrice Sixfinished fifth overall, third in IRC Division 3 and third under ORCi in the 2009 Hobart, the first time the ORCi rule was utilized in Australia. She also achieved a best result of fourth in division in the 2011 Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race, which no doubt Lane will be out to beat. Phil Damp has jumped ship from his own yacht Ariel to join the crew.
