Langman went on to win the 2022 Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race, sponsored by his companyHe has since had a number of podium finished in the Audi Centre Sydney Blue Water Pointscore , finishing second in the Flinders Islet Race, third in the Tollgate Islands Race and second in the Bird Island Race to currently lead overall. Langman is a skilled and versatile sailor with a solid crew that includes Matt Humphries and Gordon Maguire, along with a handful of 18ft skiff sailors, including Langman’s own crew, Ed Powys and Josh Porebski.
