Strewth

 

After racing this comfortable cruiser/racer in a couple of Rolex Sydney Hobarts, Geoff Hill took the boat to England to contest the 2005 Cowes Week and the Fastnet Race.  Returning via Hong Kong, he sailed Strewth to victory in the Premier Cruising division of the King’s Cup at Phuket in 2008.  Strewth has a good racing record in Asia.  Geoff has gathered a crew of good mates who are full of experience and boast over 140 Hobarts between them including Bruce Gould who is competing in his 40th Sydney Hobart, Ralph Carlier undertaking his 30th Hobart race and Erik Adriaanse in his 21st race south.
