Ocean Affinity

Ocean Affinity is a comfortable yet responsive Marten 49, owned and campaigned by Queenslander Stewart Lewis. She has competed each consecutive race since 2010. In last year’s race she placed 13th overall IRC, 6th in IRC Division 2 and 10th in ORCi. In the 2012 Rolex Sydney Hobart, Lewis placed seventh in IRC Division 2 against tough competitors such as Occasional Coarse Language 2 (Warwick Sherman), Midnight Rambler (Psaltis, Thomas and Bencsik) and Celestial (Sam Haynes), the top three in that division. Not to mention the experienced Bruce Taylor (Chutzpah) who has 32 Hobart's to his credit and finished fifth in Division 2. Lewis’ other results with Ocean Affinity include: back to back line honours victories in the Gosford to Lord Howe Island Yacht Race (2009 and 2010) and second overall in the 2011 race; third overall in the 2011 Brisbane to Keppel Island Tropical Yacht Race, second in division at the 2012 Audi Hamilton Island Race Week and first in IRC Cruising at the 2010 Airlie Beach Race week.
