This near new Grand Soleil has sailed across from the Mediterranean to compete in the 60th anniversary Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.  The boat will be crewed by sailors from the UK, Germany and local Sydney based Getaway Sailing crew.

Skipper Chris Townsend believes the boat will perform well in heavy airs with the greatest advantage when they are reaching or sailing upwind.
