Last year this famous old campaigner set a new record for the most races by any yacht, 26.  Between them the crew has amassed an incredible 150 Rolex Sydney Hobarts including Maurie Cameron sailing his 33rd, Geoff Barter his 32nd and Tony Cable his 44th to equal the late John Bennetto's record.  Phillip’s Foote Witchdoctor won the 2005 Sydney Mooloolaba Race on PHS handicap and placed 3rd last year showing there’s still plenty of life in this 28 year-old boat.
