Prowler
In 2003, Prowler's owner/skipper, Christian Jackson was awarded the CYCA’s prestigious Ocean Racing Rookie of the Year. This followed a very successful 2002/2003 season which included line honours in both Melbourne to Hastings race, line honours and race record for the 2002 Melbourne to Launceston Race, handicap honours for the 2003 Southport to Mackay, 2nd over the line in the 2003 Melbourne-Hobart and divisional winner of Skandia Geelong Race Week.
As this will be Prowler's first Rolex Sydney Hobart, Christian Jackson and the crew, which includes some of Geelong's finest young sailors, are keen to perform well.
