Calibre

 

Calibre redeemed herself in last year’s Land Rover Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race when she finished sixth overall and second in Division 2. Prior to that, she last pointed her nose north in this 384 nautical mile race in 2011, but retired. Beforehand, Richard Williams, with his former co- owner in the boat, Geoff Bonus, concentrated on competing at Sydney 38 One-Design events for seven seasons. They also sailed to the podium in events such as the CYCA Trophy – One Design division. Williams recently won the Sydney 38 Division in the Land Rover Winter Series and finished third on scratch. Joining the crew is CYCA Youth Academy match racer, Kathleen Stroinovsky According to the boat’s Face Book page, they have the ‘hottest crew on the water’. We’ll soon see.
