Zephyr’s current owners purchased the Farr 1020 in mid 2006 with one thing in mind - the 2007 Rolex Sydney Hobart. Zephyr has been upgraded for the boat’s first trip south and the crew has been sailing together in preparation for the last 18 months. Zephyr’s debut ocean race was this year’s Audi Sydney Southport, they went on to contest the Audi Sydney Gold Coast but were forced to retire with a broken backstay.
