Phillip's Foote Witchdoctor

 

This famous old campaigner will be sailing her 26th race to Hobart, a new record for the most races by any yacht. Between them the crew has amassed an incredible 163 Rolex Sydney Hobarts including Rum Consortium coowners Maurie Cameron (31), Geoff Barter (29) and Charles Troup (20) while crewman Tony Cable is lining up for his 43rd. Phillip’s Foote Witchdoctor won last year’s Sydney Mooloolaba Race and placed 3rd this year on PHS showing there’s still plenty of life in this 27 year old boat.
