Breakthrough

 

This is the former Chancellor which was purchased by Jonathan Stone and Mat Vadas who sailed the Beneteau First 40 to 35th overall and ninth in IRC Division 3 of last year’s Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race. They went on to finish 29th overall and eighth in IRC Division 3 of the Rolex Sydney Hobart. Breakthrough retired from this year’s Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race due to time constraints. Previously, Stone owned Illusion (the 1988 Hobart overall winner for her original owner), which he sailed in the 2011 Rolex Sydney Hobart, but retired with hull damage.
