Simply Fun

Built in China, Simply Fun was launched late December 2013 for Phil Coombs. Her first ocean race was the Melbourne to Launceston and she took line and overall honours, then won the Apollo Bay Race, missing the race record by five minutes. Simply Fun contested the 2014 Hobart, Coombs’ wife Cheryl navigating and finished 20^th overall. Coombs previously owned Triad and then the DK46, Dekadence (which is in this race also), which he entered in its first Hobart in 2004, finishing 10^th on line and 13^th overall. Just 59 yachts finished that gale-force race. He also finished fifth in the 2007 Melbourne Osaka Double Handed race.
