David Henry bought this Sydney 36CR, Philosopher, which he races out of Sydney and retired from the 2021 Hobart. This time he will sail the boat in the Two-Handed Division, against son and rival, Rupert, with Mistral. With his broad sailing experience, Henry should do well. Racing two-handed, he placed third and fifth respectively in the 2022 Flinders Islet and Tollgate Islands races. This yacht was formerly The Philosopher's Club, then Philosopher and Willie Smith’s Philosopher and scored 15^th to win Division 6 and IRC Corinthian in the 2019 Hobart. With her former owners, the yacht scored top three places in 2008, 2011, 2018 and 2019 at the Australian Yachting Championships.
