This will be the first Rolex Sydney Hobart for the Bakewell-White 40 which previously raced in Auckland under the name Anarchy.  Delivered to Sydney earlier this year, its new owner has begun his campaign in the Audi Centre Sydney Blue Water Pointscore.  In this year’s Tollgate Islands Race, the yacht performed well, finishing 2nd in IRC Division 1 and 4th overall.
