RPAYC members Richard Hudson, Michael Lockley and Russell Murphy own Pretty Woman, an IC40 designed by Bruce Farr. Pretty Woman races regularly on Pittwater and along the east coast including contesting Audi Hamilton Island Race Week and the Audi Sydney Gold Coast.

Hudson has contested many cat 2 races and notched up numerous wins overall.  Also in the crew is Ray Hasler, a former NZ Yachtsman of the Year who has done 13 Rolex Sydney Hobarts.  A number of the younger crew are graduates of the RPAYC youth training program including Thomas Spithill, younger brother of the famous America’s Cup skipper James Spithill.
