Broomstick
Broomstick has sailed around the world three times as an Open 60, including the Vendee Globe and Around Alone. The owners have significantly re-modelled and lengthened the boat to 66 feet and the experienced crew are looking forward to a quick trip south. Colin O’Connor is lining up for his 25th Hobart and Bernie Case for his 37th.
