Blue Planet (DH)

In the growing fleet of J/99s, Professor Chris O'Neill and Michael Johnston are preparing for their third consecutive Sydney Hobart, racing in the Double Handed division. In the 2023 race, the team narrowly missed breaking into the top five of the IRC Double Handed leaderboard. Since then, they’ve shown consistent form, finishing second in their division, third in IRC Corinthian and first in PHS Corinthian in the 2024 Noakes Sydney Gold Coast. Their steady performance in the 2024/25 Audi Centre Sydney Blue Water Pointscore has resulted in fourth place overall after the Gold Coast, Flinders Islet, Tollgate Islands and Bird Island race.
