Ausreo

Ausreo

 

This boat undertook her maiden Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race last year finishing a respectable 28th overall and seventh in IRC Division 3. Creak has assembled a crew of regular offshore yachties who have been aboard with him in the CYCA’s Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race over the last few years. They missed this year’s Land Rover Sydney Gold Coast race and their best result to date was in the 2013 race where they finished 22nd overall and 11th in Division 3. Creak and his crew are looking forward to a hard slog to Hobart aboard this Beneteau 47.7 originally campaigned as Caliban II.
