One For The Road

Kym Butler has come a long way since being named CYCA Ocean Racing Rookie of the Year in 2008 and  moved on from his previous yachts to this Archambault 40, which he purchased in time to contest the 2011 Rolex Sydney Hobart. A 32^nd overall and 11^th in division was the result.

Butler and his Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club crew have competed in most of the major east coast races over the last few years including the 2011 Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race where this A40 made her ocean racing debut and finished eighth in her division, which she replicated in the 2012 race.  

Butler will be bringing to the table all the skills he uses at Butlers, the busy accountancy and legal practice he founded. He will have some great competition with other A40’s in the race, such as 41 SUD, Papillon and Nautical Circle.
