Dodo

 

In 2003 Dodo unfortunately won the "coveted" race to Eden as a Sydney 38 (even beating Nicorette) after destroying a mainsail.  Undeterred, the team backed up again in 2004 for the galeswept race to Hobart, to be rewarded this time with the Battery Point trophy for the fastest elapsed time by a small boat.

In 2005 Dodo, Australia’s fifth large ISP, again heads south under the guise of a Sydney 38.  Adrian Dunphy has lined up a strong crew combining Hobart veterans and imported Olympic youth from his skiff Ella Bache.
