Chris Tucker and his Halcyon crew from ‘The Royals’ in Victoria have been warming up the Beneteau First 40 in their local winter series and finished with a second in AMS Division 1. 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. Race highlights since launching include winning the Melbourne to Launceston Rudder Cup under AMS in 2010, finishing PHS second in the Melbourne to Hobart Eastcoaster Race and third in the attached series.
