West Australian yachtsman Alan Brierty launched Limit three weeks prior to the start of last year’s Rolex Sydney Hobart, the boat finishing a credible seventh on IRC. Limit then sailed to New Zealand to compete in the Auckland to Noumea race, where the boat won line honours and every division (IRC, ORC and PHRF) in a very slow race. Upon returning to Australia, she went on to finish a nail-biting fourth in this year's Audi Hamilton Island Race Week. Following the blue water classic Brierty plans to take Limit to New Zealand and the USA to compete internationally.
