Alive

 

After securing her second Tattersall Cup victory in 2023, Phillip Turner’s Alive is back for another shot at the prestigious trophy in the 2024 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. She is only the second Tasmanian yacht in the race’s history to win the Tattersall Cup twice, sharing this achievement with Westward. Earlier this year, Alive, with usual skipper Duncan Hine, continued her winning ways by taking victory in the ORC division of the 2024 Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race as well as winning the Gold division at Hamilton Island Race Week. Alive first claimed the Tattersall Cup in 2018 and came close to back-to-back wins in 2019, ultimately placing fourth overall while clinching honours in Division 0.


Retiring with hull damage in the 2021 Sydney Hobart, Alive repaired and finished second across the line and second overall in the 2022 Gladstone Ports Corporation Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race.She also set a new Line Honours record in the 2020 TasPorts Launceston to Hobart Yacht Race and triumphed in Division 0 at the 2022 Australian Yachting Championships. Consistently good on the race track, Alive shows no signs of slowing down and her crew remains top tier.
