Papillon

 

Originally from Newcastle, where she raced with great success as Cabernet Sauvignon, Papillon was brought to Sydney early in 2007 to campaign offshore.  Papillon is an Archambault 40, a design that has achieved great success on IRC in Europe and Australia.  Papillon competed in the 2007 Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race and this season is contesting the CYCA’s Blue Water Pointscore.  Owner Phil Molony, a veteran of 19 Hobarts, has attracted a very experienced crew, with Kim Jaggar as the Sailing Master, who is sailing in his 30th Hobart.
