Flying Cloud has been owned by David Myers since 2020. She took part in the 2021 Blue Water Point Score series and the 2021 and 2022 Rolex Sydney Hobart races, skippered by George Martin. In the 2021 race she was 28th across the line. In 2022 she finished in just over four days, despite breaking her boom in two shortly after entering the Bass Strait. The crew aims to improve on their 2021 result and to cross the line ahead of all other Beneteau First 40s entered the race.
