St Jude

 

St Jude finished 39th overall and 11th in Division 2 in the 2015 Land Rover Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race. The previous year was Noel Cornish’s and St Jude’s first, and the end result was 40th overall. It was the same year Cornish, a CYCA director, launched the offshore sailing careers of graduates from the CYCA Youth Academy, and Emma May has become a true convert, remaining aboard for all major races, including the Rolex Sydney Hobart, from which St Jude retired last year with rudder damage. As the final race of the Club’s Blue Water Pointscore, it left the Sydney 47 in 21st place overall. St Jude fared much better in the Ocean Pointscore with fifth overall. Veteran offshore racer Ron Jacobs joins the crew.
