Magic Miles

Magic Miles is a beautifully crafted and impeccably maintained luxury cruiser/racer sloop hailing from Tasmania. From the drawing board of renowned French designer, Philippe Briand, she was built in 1985 and underwent a major refit in 2007-2008. Owner Mike Crew owns the Theatre Royal Hotel in Hobart.

Primarily used for corporate match racing on the Derwent River in Hobart and for select private charters in the southern waters of Tasmania, Magic Miles is the same design as another Hobart based yacht, Dr Tony Fisher’s Helsal IV, which last raced to Hobart in 2008. The heavy yacht, more designed for creature comforts and cruising, finished 67th out of 92 on line. In last year’s Rolex Sydney Hobart she finished seventh in PHS Division 1.
