After a 6-year hiatus, Richard Williams returns to skipper his newest Calibre, a Cookson 12, which he purchased in early 2023. Named Ocean Rookie of the the Year in 2015/16, Williams finished second in Div 1 at the Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race this year in his first offshore outing with the yacht. Having previously campaigned a Sydney 38, the Cookson 12 gives Williams hope of a shot at the overall title.
