Another Challenge
The average age of this Victorian crew, who are all students at Melbourne University, is just 21, making them possibly the youngest crew ever to contest the 628 nautical mile race.
Team Melbourne Uni has found the yacht they believe will give them another edge over competitors in Lou Abraham’s Sydney 38.
Skipper Chris Lewin, 21, and his crew of 11 have been training and fundraising for more than 12 months to get to the start line of the blue water classic.
