Profile

This Farr 49 was launched in 1999 and went on to win the Sydney Hobart that year racing as Yendys.  It is now owned by Perth surgeon Philip Childs, skipper of Courtesan when it won Division D in the 2004 Rolex Sydney Hobart, who discovered the boat at a truck company auction and has relaunched the former champion.  The boat is named after Philip’s Margaret River Vineyard and Winery – Knee Deep Wines.
