Playstation 4 is the former Equinox II, which made her ocean racing debut in the 2011 Sydney Offshore Newcastle Yacht Race with former owner Anthony Dunn, who sailed her to third in IRC Division. He also finished 30th overall in the 2011 Gold Coast race, and retired from the 2012 race when a crew member fell ill. Dean Harrigan, who previously owned a Beneteau 50 named Playstation 3, purchased this RP42 and placed 11th overall in PHS Division 1 at the 2015 Sydney Harbour Regatta, with a 10th in IRC in 2016 and fifth overall in IRC Division 1 in the 2016 Australia Day Regatta. This RP42 is yet to realise her full potential, but Harrigan as ordered some new sails which could make the difference. An interesting crew mix includes the likes of six-time skiff world champ Andrew Buckland, navigator Phil Eadie (with 35 Hobarts), along with Murray Owen and Jenny Kings, owners of the yacht Mahligai.
