Navy One

The Royal Australian Navy is sailing this Beneteau First 40 for a second time after placing 84th overall in 2019. She was launched as Lunchtime Legend for Queenslander Robbo Robertson in August 2011 and won IRC Division 2 of the Rolex Trophy Rating Series and scored third in IRC Division 4 of the Rolex Sydney Hobart that year – finishing with the exact same corrected overall time as sistership, Two True, winner of the 2009 Rolex Sydney Hobart. In 2012, Robbo won IRC Division 3 after finishing 17th overall in the 2012 Hobart. The boat was sold and became Outlaw and the Navy then renamed her Navy One, after purchasing her four years ago for initial entry officer sail training for the RAN at HMAS Creswell in Jervis Bay. In the 2019 Rolex Sydney Hobart, Navy One, with Nathan Lockhart in command, won the Oggin Cup and plaque for the first Armed Services Yacht on corrected time. They need to keep Gun Runner at bay to take it home again.
