Well-known marine retailer Andrew Short has gained sponsorship this year for his Volvo 60 that he has campaigned so successfully over recent years. The boat that won the last leg of the 2001-2002 Volvo round-the-world race has undergone a facelift for this year’s Rolex Sydney Hobart, including new paintwork and sails. Short, who has many successes with previous boats such as Bobsled, has put together an excellent crew and aims to again win the Volvo 60 division of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Race.
