After a 10-year break, skipper Rupert Henry is making a sailing comeback, but this time to ocean racing rather than dinghies, where he represented Australia in 420s and 470s.  Two father and son combinations (David and son Rupert and Rob Howard and sons Will and Richard) will join the crew for Team Lexus’s first Rolex Sydney Hobart.
