Morna

Morna

 

This will be the first Rolex Sydney Hobart for the 1995 built Cavalier that has been cutting its teeth in the Pittwater to Coffs Harbour and Gosford – Lord Howe Island races.  Best results in these events include 1st overall on PHS in the 2006 Pittwater to Coffs and 1st in division this year.

The crew is looking forward to a safe and fast trip south come Boxing Day.

A boat called Morna, skippered by Claude Plowman, was the last boat to achieve a hat trick of line honours wins in the 1946-48 Sydney Hobart races, however this boat is unrelated to that Morna.
