Carrera S

Carrera S contested her only Sydney Hobart in 2019 and finished 67^th overall.  Owned by Victorian Gerry Cantwell, the Marten 49 arrived in Australia in 2018, after racing extensively in Auckland for 10 years.  Since buying the cruiser/racer, Cantwell has competed in the Auckland Noumea Race and the Groupama Race, which takes the fleet around New Caledonia.  Carrera S normally races out of Melbourne in between major events and took line honours in the ORCVs 2019 Apollo Bay Race.  In 2019 Cantwell started the Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race, but retired due to time constraints.  He continued on to Airlie Beach and Hamilton Island Race Weeks where he took on the big guns and finished an excellent fourth at the latter event.  In November, the Victorian yacht placed third overall in the 220nm South East Qld Ocean Racing Qualifier.
