Impeccable

The CYCA’s three-time Ocean Racing Veteran of the Year, John Walker, will this year line up for his 24th Rolex Sydney Hobart and in doing so will be written into the history books as the oldest skipper ever to sail to Hobart at the age of 85.  John’s previous successes with Impeccable include winning the 2004 Sydney Mooloolaba and Gosford to Lord Howe Island races overall.  John has completed all 23 Hobarts, and recorded a 2nd and 3rd overall in the bluewater classic, on board this yacht.  Long term crewmember Felicity Nelson is lining up for her 13th race south.
