Richard Hudson leads his Farr 45 Pretty Woman’s fifth tilt at the Rolex Sydney Hobart. As CYCA’s 2023 Ocean Veteran of the Year, Richard and his crew racked up some impressive results in 2022, claiming the PHS Corinthian Division in last year’s race and 3rd under PHS Corinthian in the Noakes Sydney Gold Coast. Hudson again blends experience with younger sailors from his home Club, Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club, allowing many young sailors to experience offshore racing at its toughest.
