Profile

Many yachtsmen would give their eye teeth to do the Hobart on this boat. Owner Marshall Phillips successfully raced his two previous yachts, both named Sweet Caroline, with some of Australia's best offshore sailors. Now he's back with a beautiful 51ft. Swan and a top-line crew, including Norm Hyett, Colin Betts and James Burke. Defiance is fresh from an IOR win in the Sydney–Lord Howe Island Race, and she'd relish a heavy weather Hobart.
