Extasea
In 2016, Extasea, finished 47th overall and eighth in Division 2, skippered by Bryan Kennett in Paul Buchholz’s absence. Prior to that, she last headed south in 2014, finishing 29th overall and 17th in 2010. The DK46 made her Sydney Gold Coast debut in late July and finished 38th overall. These seasoned yachties have won every local offshore race over the past 12 years, culminating in winning the ORCV Offshore Championship four times. In 2015, Extasea took line honours in the Melbourne Hobart race for the fourth time (between 2011 and 2015), excluding 2014, when Buchholz contested the Hobart and finished 29th overall.
