West Australian yachtsman Alan Brierty purchased Chris Dare’s champion Victorian Corby 49 called Flirt prior to the Audi Sydney Southport Yacht Race back in March and finished with an impressive second in division. Racing as Flirt, this boat finished second in division in last year’s Rolex Trophy, 1st at Sailing South Week in Hobart and second on a countback at Skandia Geelong Week in January. Like the previous owner, Brierty, has joined forces with Rolex Sydney Hobart veteran Roger Hickman as sailing master and is sailing north with a combined Sydney and West Australian crew.
