Chutzpah

Chutzpah

 

This is Bruce Taylor’s sixth Chutzpah, a Reichel/Pugh design built by Mal Hart.  Over 22 years of competing in the Rolex Sydney Hobart, Taylor has notched up an amazing seven divisional wins as well as one 2nd and one 3rd overall.  His crew includes Kingsley Piesse, who is lining up for this 25th race south.  Chutzpah is one of a strong fleet of Victorian entries and Taylor and his top crew are always a strong chance for another divisional placing.
