In last year’s Rolex Sydney Hobart, a first for Halycon, Tucker and crew finished 47th overall and 14th in division against a class field including same designs such as division winner, Lunchtime Legend and the 2009 overall Hobart winner, Two True.
Tucker launched Halycon in May 2010 and has been competing in races on Port Philip Bay and several ocean races out of Melbourne since.
