Team Swish is looking to build on some recent successes offshore including wins in IRC Division 3 of the recent Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race and the Audi Sydney Offshore Newcastle Yacht Race.  The addition of a masthead spinnaker to this Sydney 38 has significantly improved the downwind performance and gives the boat a real chance for a division win.  Swish’s best performance in the Rolex Sydney Hobart was a third in the Sydney 38 Division in 2005.  She has been a regular competitor in major east coast races over the past nine years.
