He has also contested two each of Gosford Lord Howe Island, Brisbane Gladstone and Brisbane Keppel races. In 2011-2012 he circumnavigated Australia, undertook a passage from Brisbane to New Zealand in 2016 and a Van Diemen's Land circumnavigation was completed 2017. The late Peter Luke’s (co-founder of the CYCA) son-in-law, Graeme Boyd, is aboard again, while wife Lindy (Luke’s daughter) stays ashore.
