Pirelli Celestial

Pirelli Celestial is a well campaigned Rogers IRC 46. Previously owner by Rob Hanna and raced as Shogun, she achieved a divisional win and placed second overall on IRC in the Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race 2007, and finished 16th across the line in the Rolex Sydney Hobart that same year. In 2008, she also achieved a line honours win in the Melbourne Hobart race.

Pirelli Celestial was recently purchased by Sam Haynes, whose crew and previous yacht, a Sydney 39CR also named Celestial, has performed well in East Coast racing over the last few seasons.

With the sponsorship of Pirelli, who are returning to yacht racing and have made a substantial commitment to the sport with Celestial, the boat will race in the upcoming Rolex Sydney Hobart 2010 and then go on to compete in the Audi IRC Australian championship, starting with Audi Victoria Week.

Pirelli Celestial has a well seasoned crew who are keen to learn the boat and take her to her full potential. Recently she took the PHS Divisional win in the Sydney Short Ocean Racing Championship.
