This is Bruce Taylor’s sixth Chutzpah, a state of the art Reichel/Pugh design, built by Mal Hart. In her first Rolex Sydney Yacht in 2007 Chutzpah won Division C and placed 4th overall and in the 2008 Hobart she scored another IRC 2 divisional win. Chutzpah won the IRC/AMS handicap double in the ORCV’s 2008 Melbourne to Stanley race; and IRC Division 2 in the 2008 Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race.

In last year’s Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race, Chutzpah finished 22nd on line, sixth in IRC Division 2 and eighth in ORCi Division 1.
