Stratcorp Ninety Seven

This 47-footer beat a fleet of much bigger yachts in the treacherous conditions of the 1993 Sydney Hobart to take Line Honours. Last year marked the 10th anniversary of that historic win but unfortunately their campaign came to an end when the boat was dismasted.

They are back to finish what they began in 2003 and have added a new sweptback rig and new Elliott-designed keel. One of the original crewmembers from 1993, Adam Brown, and round the world sailor Darren Senogles, both from NSW, will join skipper Chris Dare, a champion dinghy sailor, and the remaining Victorian crew.
