Airstream

Airstream

 

Airstream is one of a throng of first-time Rolex Sydney Hobart entrants. Warwick Taylor says his Wauquiez Centurion 40s is for the non-professional who likes a challenge and wants to get the most of what is there. However, he also points out that he and the crew are competitive and like keeping tabs on the competition without getting too carried away! This is a comfortable well-built 40 foot yacht from the southern suburbs of Sydney that will go the distance in the 628 nautical mile Rolex Sydney Hobart. She did the 2019 Noakes Sydney Gold Coast race and finished 49th overall.
