Equinox

Equinox

 

Equinox was launched just prior to Christmas 2006, and undertook its first race just days later to Coffs Harbour.  Equinox scored third in IRC Division C at the 2007 Pittwater to Coffs Harbour Race and took line honours in the boats up to 36ft category -  its first race. In 2008 Equinox, placed 4th in IRC Division C in the same race.

More recently Equinox placed 2nd overall in IRC Division 3 in the 2008 Audi Sydney Harbour Regatta, and 2nd IRC C/R Division at 2007 Audi Hamilton Island Race Week.  With a great start to its racing life, the skipper and crew plan to build on their early success and grow the yacht’s race profile by undertaking the CYCA’s complete racing calendar.  They may not be the fastest to Southport but the crew is completely focused on achieving another great divisional result and running a big asymmetrical kite in favourable southerly conditions will certainly put Equinox in its element for the race to Southport.
