Aurora

 

This Lake Macquarie yacht achieved its best results in the two heavy weather Hobarts of 1998 and 1999, where she finished 2nd and 3rd in division respectively.  Good crew experience on board this one-off Farr 40 including the husband and wife team of Jim and Mary Holley, who is lining up for her 11th race south while Jim is preparing for his 20th.  In late October Aurora placed 3rd IRC overall in the Gosford to Lord Howe Island Race.
