Deja Vu

Steve Carey is bringing Déjà Vu from Victoria to its first Rolex Sydney Hobart. In 2012, the Dufour 38 produced mixed results. Last overall under IRC in the Stanley Race, she went on to place third overall in the Melbourne to Hobart Eastcoaster. It was second in the Cruising Division of the 2012 Lipton Cup Regatta and again in the Lord Forster and Acrospire Trophies, with a 13^th overall in 2012/2013 Ocean Racing Club of Victoria’s Offshore Championship under IRC.

A regular Royal Yacht Club of Victoria Wednesday Twilights competitor, in 2011 Déjà Vu won the Palliser Trophy for the local cruise to Mornington. That same year was second in the Commodores and Doc Bennell Trophies for the Port Arlington cruise. Add a bit of serious racing to a bit of serious cruising, plus mixed results, makes it hard to say where Steven Carey and his Rolex Sydney Hobart novice might finish up.
