Bacardi

 

This will be the 10th Sydney-Hobart for the Melburne based Bacardi, which placed 2nd in Division A of last year's race.  Bacardi has also won a Melbourne-Hobart, won the Channel division of the ORCV winter series, and placed 3rd in division of the 1989 Sydney-Gladstone Race.  This is an older style yacht crewed by a young, experienced and very enthusiastic crew.
