Farr South

 

The aptly named boat Farr South will represent the southernmost yacht club in Australia, Port Esperance Sailing Club at Dover in the far south of Tasmania.

Farr South is a Farr/Jutson 37, which as Hot Property won the IMS divisions of the Melbourne to Hobart and Melbourne to Devonport Races and also placed third in its division of the Rolex Sydney Hobart in 2000.

Among the experienced ocean racing and cruising crew who are "well used to the roaring forties" is 72-year-old sailing legend Bill Wright, a veteran of many Rolex Sydney Hobarts who has also completed a circumnavigation of the world.
