Berrimilla

Alex Whitworth has entered his classic yacht in every race since the 50th anniversary in 1994.  In the gruelling 1998 Race, Berrimilla placed 1st in PHS Division and in 2002, finished 3rd Overall on PHS.  After the 2004 Rolex Sydney Hobart, Alex, with crewman Peter Crozier, left for the UK, via the Falkland Islands, to contest this year’s Rolex Fastnet Race where he picked up a 2nd in the two-handed division and was awarded RORC’s Seamanship Trophy for his year spent at sea.  Berrimilla arrived back in Sydney on 20 December in time for this year's Rolex Sydney Hobart, the boat's 15th and Alex's 14th.
