Flying Fish Arctos
Flying Fish Arctos’ best result in the Rolex Sydney Hobart was in 2010 when the crew won PHS overall. Last year she finished fifth overall in PHS Division 2. In 2012 she finished a good third overall under PHS, which converted to second in PHS Division 2 –- adding to her two other second places from 2008 and 2009. These are great results for the flagship of the Flying Fish offshore training fleet which is crewed by a number of international trainees who compete in the race as a personal challenge together with some veteran hands from previous Hobart campaigns. The crew will head south under the direction of McGowan again aboard Flying Fish Arctos, a strong and powerful cutter rigged Australian-designed yacht that was originally built to race around the world.
