Abracadabra

 

Owner James Murchison is an experienced ocean racing yachtsman, having competed in four Rolex Sydney Hobart races, a Melbourne to Osaka (Japan) and races to Coffs Harbour, Southport and Mooloolaba.  He skippered Abracadabra in this year’s Coffs Harbour Race, but this is his first race to Hobart with the boat. However, the US designed and built boat raced to Hobart in 1996, placing 7th overall and 1st in Division D under the old IMS handicap system.
