The event was very well supported with well over 85 yachts racing, with 7 of them also being entrants for the Rolex Sydney to Hobart race.

Beautiful weather and 15 knot winds provided a perfect backdrop for an excellent day of sailing as the 6th place overall is testament.

We raced on ‘Margaret Rintoul V’ which is 61 foot maxi cruising and racing yacht.  After dropping anchor for lunch at the idyllic Manly Cove, it was then practice time – under the professional guidance of our crew, before the start of the race.

The N&B crew comprised of:  

Peter Osborn – NB
