Good luck to the Yachts and Sailors off to Hobart

It is not long now to the start of the 80th Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and we wish all the Middle Harbour Yacht Club boats and sailors a safe passage and good racing.

MHYC boats entered include First Light, Elizabeth Tucker’s Class 40, which is the sole yacht entered with an all-female crew, Matt Hayes' Italia 1298 Veloce, and Flying Fish’s McIntyre 55 Arctos skippered by Drew Hultin-Smith. Best wishes also to the yachts from other clubs berthed at MHYC – Sydney 38 Mondo (Lisa Callaghan MYC), Farr 277 Unicoin (Peter Bremner M16SSC), X55 Pacific Road Xanthus (Matt Fifield RSYS), Cookson 12 Trouble & Strife (Matt Williams QLD) and the Class 40 Vixen Racing (NZL).

A number of MHYC members will be joining the crews of various boats for the trip south. Good luck all!
