Sailors With disABILITIES

SWD scored a PHS win in last year’s Sydney Mooloolaba and a second in the inaugural Sydney Mackay Yacht Race in the same year. This specially designed 54-footer has contested every east coast regatta and offshore race since being launched in 2000.
With their previous boat, Pescud and his largely disabled crew won PHS Division A of the storm battered 1998 Sydney Hobart. Sailors with disABILITIES also holds the monohull circumnavigation of Australia record.
