Bill Barry-Cotter has entered his Maritimo TP52 for the 2023 race. Purchased in 2022, Bill decided to join the dominant TP52 class after racing many different designs, including his Schumacher 54 of the same name and his 32ft Ketch, Katwinchar. For the 75th Rolex Sydney Hobart, Bill entered Katwinchar, which became the oldest yacht to ever enter the Great Race. With RSHYR veteran Michael Spies as Sailing Master of the program, the team has put together a strong mix of experience and young talent.
