Profile
This cruiser racer picked up a 2nd in division in its first Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race in 2003. Owners David Forbes, an Olympic gold medallist, and Richard Brooks will again carry some seasoned names amongst the crew. Fresh from their IRC win in the Gosford to Lord Howe Island Race, Merlin is race tuned and ready to go one better than their best Hobart result so far.
