Quantum Racing

 

Prior to the 2006 Rolex Sydney Hobart, the CYCA’s current Ocean Racer of the Year, Ray Roberts, chartered this New Zealand built Cookson 50 with a canting keel for more down wind speed. Roberts has also contested Skandia Geelong Week and the Audi Sydney Harbour Regatta with this boat. Roberts and his top crew achieved phenomenal success with the previous DK 46 of the same name and were duly rewarded as last year’s Ocean Racer of the Year Awards hosted by the CYCA. Quantum Racing is expected to be amongst the top fleet IRC fleet heading north.
