Oroton Drumfire

 

The stunning Oroton Drumfire returns to the Rolex Sydney Hobart in 2023 for the yacht's 5th race under owner Will Vicars.  Immaculately prepared by skipper Phillip Neil, the yacht joins the PHS division this year and will no doubt draw attention on Sydney Harbour on Boxing Day.  The boat and crew took out her division at Hamilton Island Race Week this year.  The experienced and regular crew of Drumfire are no doubt excited for another trip south.
