Papillon was brought to Sydney from Newcastle early in 2007 by experienced ocean racing yachtsman Phil Molony to campaign offshore.  Papillon is an Archambault 40, a design that has achieved great success on IRC in Europe and Australia.  Papillon has competed in the last two Rolex Sydney Hobart races and is currently contesting the CYCA’s Blue Water Pointscore Series 2009-10; having finished second in the 2008-09 Tasman Pointscore Series (PHS).
