Amante
A competent performer in coastal races, Dennis Cooper sailed Amante to PHS sixth overall in the 2015 Land Rover Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race. Sailing under IRC in 2014, was 37th overall and third in a tough Division 4, won by L’Altra Donna with 2014 Sydney Hobart winner Wild Rose second. The trio were top three the previous year too, only the top two were reversed, with Wild Rose winning. Cooper is a regular in CYCA events, sailing to seventh overall in the 2014/2015 OPS, with a fourth in ORCi. He also finished eighth overall and second in Division 2 of the 2015 Pittwater Coffs race after finishing divisional second in the 2013 race. On returning home after finishing PHS 15th overall in January’s Pittwater Coffs race, Amante suffered a fatality when Mal Lennon was tragically washed overboard in foul weather. Amante returned to racing in the 2016 Land Rover Winter Series, finishing third overall in Division D, inclusive of winning Race 7.
