Papillon is one of the successful Archambault designs that made its way to Australia three years ago. Phil Molony has been ocean racing Papillon for two seasons since she made her debut in the 2010 Rolex Sydney Hobart. She finished 42nd overall and third in Division 3 of last year's Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. With four races put to bed, Molony is 15th in the CYCA's Blue Water Pointscore Series, with a best result of eighth in the Flinders Islet Race. Papillon sailed to 40th overall in the Audi Sydney Gold Coast race. With his previous Papillon, also an Archambault 40, Molony was second in the CYCA's 2008-09 Tasman Pointscore Series, an annual offshore series hosted by the Club.
