OZ Design Patrice Six last contested the race in 2016 and placed 30th overall after finishing 43rd overall in the 2015 race under the ownership of Shaun Lane. Previously, she was one of Tony Kirby’s many yachts named Patrice, which he skippered to 32nd in the 2012 Rolex Sydney Hobart. Kirby also sailed this X-41 to a best Sydney Hobart result of fifth overall for third in IRC Division 3 in 2009, initially sitting in the hot seat to win. In 2008, he finished 31st. Shaun Lane bought the yacht in 2013 and raced it locally. The current owner and crew have been contesting numerous CYCA races since 2020.
