Alacrity

 

As Prime Time, this Beneteau 44.7 was declared the CYCA’s 2005-06 Bluewater Champion and in 2004 it took 1st overall in the Savills Regatta.  Under current owner Matthew Percy from the QLD Gold Coast, Alacrity has contested all the major offshore races since 2005 with good results.  The majority of last year’s crew will be returning for this year’s race, which Percy’s predicts could be a heavy air affair.  Daikin Air Conditioning is once again supporting Alacrity’s Rolex Sydney Hobart attempt.
