Calibre 12

Calibre 12 did her second Hobart with Richard Williams as owner last year and finished 19th overall, fourth in Division 3 and third Corinthian IRC. In 2022, shortly after Williams bought the Cookson 12, they were fifth overall for second in IRC Division 1 and second in Corinthian IRC Division. Now he and the crew are back to try again, having started 2024 with 28th overall in the Sydney Gold Coast Race and fifth overall to claim the Division 2 win in September’s Flinders Islet Race. 

This yacht is the former Black Adder (retired from the 2013 Hobart), Kukukerchu and Salient. If the name Calibre rings a bell, it’s because Williams used to own a Sydney 38 of the same name, with which he scored numerous podium results.
