Papillon

Papillon

 

Originally from Newcastle, where she raced with great success as Cabernet Sauvignon, Papillon was brought to Sydney early in 2007 to campaign offshore.  Papillon is an Archambault A40 and the design has achieved great success on IRC in Europe and Australia. 

Papillon competed in the 2007 Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race and has been competing in the 2008 CYCA Winter Series.  Phil Molony, the owner, has attracted a very experienced crew, with Kim Jaggar as the Sailing Master.  Papillon will be competing in the 2008-2009 Blue Water Series.
