Crystal Cutter III

 

Charles Parry-Okeden and Crystal Cutter III will do their third Hobart and he is hoping it bears more fruit than last year when his Beneteau 40.7 retired with sail damage. In 2019, when he purchased the former Tomoka/Bombolo, both owner and boat contested their first Rolex Sydney Hobart and placed 97th overall. A regular Audi Centre Sydney Blue Water Pointscore competitor over the years, Parry-Okeden placed 41st in the Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race and 25th in the Flinders Islet Race this year – good practice for the 2022 Rolex Sydney Hobart. The Sydney yachtsman previously owned a Beneteau Oceanis 38, Crystal Cutter II, which he sailed in various CYCA races.
